Desserts are not always available in the sugar-free options that a diabetic should eat. Often, restaurants have the old standby of sugar-free apple pie, but maybe the diabetic in your life would like something different and more refreshing. Here is a recipe for a strawberry pie that is sugar-free but sure to please anyone, diabetic or not. Does this Spark an idea?

Help? Can you clarify how to mix the sugar free gelatin before pouring it into the pie shell. I know it can't use the standard 2 c water measurements, that seems like too much liquid for a pie shell. Or, do you allow the gelatin to set first?? -
