Rhubarb Surprise Pie

This wonderful summer pie begins with a biscuit-like crust pressed into a 9-inch pie tin. Then lots of diced rhubarb are spooned in and sprinkled with strawberry gelatin mix. A cinnamon and butter streusel is spooned on top, and then this luscious pie is popped into the oven until the rhubarb is tender, and the streusel is glazed and golden.
