Happy Birthday to my Daddy

My mom used to make an out-of-this-world Strawberry Pie. Yearly on this date or around it, I try to do the same.
I made a version of the pie : crustless pie , or vanilla custard with strawberry topping, or not as many calories pie , or whatever you want to call it.
Anywhoo , here is the original recipe.

Strawberry Pie with Creamy Satin Filling

1/2 cup sugar................................. 2 cups milk
3 TBS cornstarch ......................... 1 slightly beaten egg
3 TBS flour ....................................1/2 teaspoon vanilla
(clear is good)
1/2 teaspoon salt.......................... 1/2 cup whipping cream , whipped

Combine sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir until thick. Stir a little of the hot mixture into egg. Return to remaining hot mixture. Bring to boil stirring constantly. Cool, then chill. Beat well and fold in whipped cream and vanilla.
Pour over baked crust.

Glaze
1/2 cup strawberries .................................... 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water................................................. 2 tsp. cornstarch
2 drops food coloring
Crush strawberries. Add water - cook two minutes. Sieve. Mix sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in berry juice. Cook and stir till thick and clear. Tint red. Cool slightly, pour on arranged strawberries that are on the pie filling.(approx. 3 cups)
Refrigerate and enjoy.
