Prepare pie shell. Drain the berries. Slecting a few of the riper berries, mash enough to make ΒΌ cupful. Set aside. Combine sugar, corstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until thick and clear.
Remove from heat and add Jell-O. Mix well. Cool slightly. Then add mash berries. Fill pie shell with whole berries. Pour mixture evenly over them. Chill for at least 4 hours. Just before serving, whip cream to form stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla, and mound on top of pie.
Since this is a fairly sweet pie, unsweetened whipped cream is preferred, but you can add a little powdered sugar blended in.
