Instructions: Wash, hull, and drain strawberries. Sprinkle gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Combine sugar and 1 1/2 cups water, mint extract, and salt.

Bring mixture to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Pour hot syrup over 2 1/2 cups of the strawberries, stirring gently so they will hold shape. Cool mixture until it begins to thicken; then pour into cooled pie shell. Chill until filling is firm; then cover with whipped cream. Garnish top with the remaining 1/2 cup strawberries and the mint leaves. Serve pie very cold.
