RASPBERRY-RHUBARB SLAB PIE

Raspberry-Rhubarb Slab Pie image

"Slab pie" is a pastry baked in a jelly-roll pan and cut in slabs like a bar cookie-or a pie bar, if you will. My grandfather was a professional baker and served pieces of slab pie to his customers back in the day. Here is my spin, featuring rhubarb and gorgeous red raspberries. -Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
