gelatin to the hot mixture and stir
until dissolved; then add l cup
strawberry juice and pulp and
enough red vegetable coloring to
give nice appearance Cool. When
mixture begins to thicken, fold in
stiff1y beaten egg whites to which
"a cup of sugar has been added.
Fill baked pie shell with mixture
and chill. Just before serving
spread a ring Of whipped cream
around outside edge next to crust
and allow the red center to show.
The above is the exact recipe from
the gelatin cook book, but use l
cup vanilla wafer crumbs mixed with
u cup melted butter for the crust.
Just press it firmly around sides
and bottom Of pie pan and allow 1t

This is both pretty and delicious.
