- Mix together the digestive biscuit crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of a 23cm quiche dish. Line the bottom of the biscuit base with 1 layer of strawberry halves.
- Place the remaining strawberries in a saucepan and crush; stir the rhubarb, sugar, water and cornflour into the crushed berries. Bring the mixture to the boil over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. Turn off the heat, let the mixture stand until slightly cooled, about 2 minutes; stir in the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into the quiche dish over the strawberry halves.
- Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.

Yummy. My grandma used to make a fresh strawberry pie sort of like this, so I thought I'd add a few of her tricks. For one thing, I used a regular pie crust, poked it with a fork, and baked it before adding the filling. Graham crackers just seemed a little off. My favorite thing that she did was spread 4 ounces of cream cheese on the warm crust before placing in the halved fresh strawberries. To me this is a MUST! I also threw in some blueberries because I was a little short on strawberries. My husband and I loved this pie. It's a hard one to mess up-- just be patient and make sure that glaze is nice and thick, stirring it constantly!! I posted pictures to show the nice color added by the blueberries. This was a pretty pie. - 21 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Very disappointing. The combination of a graham cracker crust with strawberry rhubarb was not to my taste. Definitely needs more rhubarb. Added a whole cup and still could not tell there was rhubarb in it. The layer of strawberries on the bottom did very little to enhance the flavor or texture of the pie. Was very easy to make and it did set up beautifully. - 08 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
