Come, Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. 

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Rita Heikenfeld’s Glazed gelatin strawberry pie

A straight-forward, vintage recipe, The glaze is a homemade version of store-bought glaze and is better tasting. Gelatin allows the pie to cut fairly easily. 

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup cold water

1 pkg, 3 oz, strawberry gelatin

4 cups sliced strawberries – measure after slicing

1 pie shell, pre-baked

Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Whisk together sugar, cornstarch and water in a saucepan until smooth. 

Turn heat to medium, bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk and cook until thick, a couple of minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate just until slightly cooled, about 15 minutes.

Pour strawberries into pie shell and pour gelatin mixture over.

Refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped cream.
