Yield::1 9-inch pie
Ingredients
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
4 pink grapefruit
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ cup grapefruit juice
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
Directions
Peel grapefruit, removing all pith. Cut up into bite-size pieces. Drain in a strainer for 4 or more hours, collecting the juice. (This can be done the day before.)
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup juice in a small saucepan; if the collected juice does not measure 3/4 cup, top it off with water. Bring to a boil. Stir in strawberry gelatin. Cool slightly.
Spread grapefruit in the bottom of the baked shell, and pour gelatin over the fruit. Chill several hours or overnight.
