Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----CRUMB BASE-----
2 1/2 cups Quaker Oats -- uncooked
(quick or old-fashioned)
2/3 cup Brown sugar -- firmly packed
1/2 cup Butter or margarine -- melted
-----STRAWBERRY FILLING-----
1 1/2 pints Fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatine
1/2 cup COLD water
1 cup Granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
3 drops Red food coloring
2 Egg whites
1 cup Whipping cream -- whipped

For base, combine oats, sugar and butter, mixing until crumbly. Place in a
shallow baking pan. Heat in preheated moderate oven (350 F.) about 10
minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside 1/2 cup of crumb mixture for
topping. Firmly press remaining mixture into an ungreased 13 x 9-inch
baking pan. Chill.

For filling, crush 1/2 pint of the strawberries. Slice remaining
strawberries; set aside. Soften gelatine in cold water. Combine softened
gelatine, crushed strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and food coloring in
saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until gelatine and
sugar are dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

Place crushed strawberry mixture and egg whites in large mixing bowl.
Beat at high speed on electric mixer until mixture is thick and mounds when
dropped from a spoon. Fold in whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
Spread evenly over crumb base. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Chill several hours or until set. Cut in pieces; garnish with strawberry
halves.
