When I was a kid and one could still get some yummy food at Big Boy restaurants, their fresh strawberry pie was a huge favorite of mine. This recipe, almost identical to the one I have, comes as close as one can. |

That's how they make theirs and the Jell-O part is what keeps the strawberries in a cohesive mass so when you slice the pie the berries are not falling everywhere and juice dripping all over the place. |

My guess is that they use a starch based gel powder instead of animal based gelatin. They'll add red coloring and sugar. It'll look pretty and be more stable but Jell-O probably tastes better. |

I know a lot of people here are disgusted by the thought of Jello salads. I have never made one, but I will gladly eat them. Last Sunday he went to a party at a friend's place and there was a lime Jello and cucumber salad being passed around. I tried some and thought it was pretty good. |

Whichever it is, it makes a good tasting strawberry pie that's not running all over the plate. |

Add 1/3 cup COLD 40% cream, stir together briefly! Add sprinkle of cold water if not coming together into dough rapidly. STOP STIRRING when dough comes together. Leaving a little unmixed is superior to mixing them in! You can press them together later so now bunch up into a lump gently and put in plastic wrap to completely cover and and let rest for 1 hour min. in cool place before working. Overnight in cool place best. Can be refrigerated or frozen, but let come to cool room temp before working. John Kuthe... |

I like using corn starch to gel fruit pis like strawberry. Use enough and it gels well! I don't measure I just throw a bunch on and it always works. But I used to be a professional baker too!

Add some Chambord too because it is delicious! John Kuthe... |

You can do it with plain gelatin, sugar, and fruit juice. I don't have a recipe to hand. I used to have the Time-Life Foods of the World set, and it was in the Cooking of Germany book.
