Strawberry and Banana Pie

Serves: 8
WW Points per Serving: 3.5

1 pint fresh strawberries (I have used frozen ones (no sugar added) and it works just fine - - have to cook a bit longer.)
¾ cup water
½ cup sugar
2 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch
1 large banana or 2 small ones
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
Or use a graham cracker – low fat crust
1 - 8 oz. Pkg. Fat free Cool Whip

Wash, hull and slice strawberries in half. Place in a saucepan with the water and ½ tsp. Red food coloring and bring to a boil. When mixture reaches full boil, pour in sugar and cornstarch that have been mixed together. Stir until thickened and clear. Remove from heat and cool in refrigerator. When filling is cool, slice bananas and layer in bottom of a graham cracker crust. Pour strawberry filling over the bananas and return to refrigerator until time to serve. Top with an 8 oz. Pkg. of fat free Cool Whip. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
