1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons milk

GLAZE

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 tablespoons corn starch

Mix crust ingredients together in a 9-inch pie dish using a fork. Stir until dough forms a ball. Pat dough with hands to form crust in pie dish. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes. Let cool.

Combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan and cook until thick and clear. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons dry strawberry Jell-O gelatin. Cool and pour over 2 to 3 pints of strawberries that have been cleaned, cut, and placed in the baked piecrust. Chill well and serve with whipped cream.
