Strawberry Pie

3 large eggs, only use the whites
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
10 saltine crakers, crushed
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioners/powdered sugar
1 tub fresh strawberries

To make crust- beat egg whites until stiff with peaks, add sugar slowly. Add baking powder slowly; should be thick and moldable. Fold in crackers and pecans. Pour into a lightly greased pie plate and mold up the sides. Bake 325 for 25 min.
Let cool completely and add cut strawberries (or sub peaches!). Top with homemade whipped cream: Beat together whipping cream and conf. sugar until stiff. Let chill in the the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours.
