RHUBARB CHERRY PIE

Rhubarb Cherry Pie image

As a young girl, I dreamed of being able to make pies like my mother. (Her rolling pin, which I inherited, was 2 ft. long and 8 in. wide!) In fact, this is Mom's rhubarb strawberry pie recipe with cherries instead. I first made this pie for a church gathering 20 years ago-ever since, everyone's looked for it at every potluck! -Eunice Hurt, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
