For crust: Preheat oven to 350°. Crush pretzels in a large plastic bag with rolling pin. Mix in a bowl with the butter and brown sugar. Press into a pie pan and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and cool.
Filling: Put 1 1/2 c. water, sugar, cornstarch and gelatin in a saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook until it starts to thicken, remove from heat. Put strawberries in a bowl and pour sauce over, gentle tossing together. Allow to cool slightly, then pile coated strawberries into the cooled pie crust. Spoon over any leftover sauce and refrigerate, uncovered for 4 hours.
Whip cream and spread on top of pie.
