Big Boy Strawberry Pie

This is a recipe from Big Boy American chain restaurant which originated in California  starting as Bob's Pantry in 1936 Glendale, California.

This recipe was especially popular in June during strawberry season

I though the name was a great name for a pie to make for Father's Day!

 The recipe used cornstarch and jello as as a glaze that thickens so that the pie can be sliced once it has been chilled! 

The glaze was mixed with the prepared strawberries and poured in to the pie.  I think a nicer presentation would be to arrange the strawberries first and then pour the glaze over the berries.  One would have better control of the glaze not flowing over the crust.  I probably would also use only total of 1 1/2 cups of water.  The almond oatmeal bases is delicious with this pie!
