I have altered this recipe:
6 C frozen strawberries
3 C sugar
9 T cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Microwave berries and sugar until sugar is melted and berries are no longer frozen
Mix cornstarch in a little water until a paste; add to berries and stir; microwave on a low to medium power every 2-3 minutes stirring or whisking until thick.
By using frozen strawberries you don't need the food coloring.
This makes a much taller pie
Cool Whip could be used instead of whipping cream
