Preparation
Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter; pat into bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Bake at 350 °F (180 °C) for 10 min. Cool.
Sprinkle gelatin over rum in a saucepan. Soften 5 min; heat gently to dissolve. Beat eggs with sugar in the top of a double boiler. Beat in flour; slowly whisk in hot milk. Cook over simmering water until custard thickens, 5 to 10 min. Beat in gelatin and vanilla extract; cool over a larger bowl filled with ice and water. Mixture should be cool but not yet set.
Slice 1/3 of the berries; place in cooled pie shell. Halve remaining berries and reserve for the top.
Whip cream until light and fold into gelatin base along with ginger. Spoon into pie shell and refrigerate 1 hour.
Arrange reserved berries over top of pie. Brush berries with jam. Decorate with sprigs of mint. Chill 2 hours longer.
