RHUBARB RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make pie crust for two-crust pie according to your favorite recipe.
• Refrigerate pie dough until ready to use.
• For Filling: Cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1/2-inch slices to measure 4 cups (reserve one cup).
• In a 3-quart kettle stir together 3 cups rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted, about 6 minutes.
• In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and lemon juice.
• Add cornstarch mixture to rhubarb mixture and boil, stirring constantly, until rhubarb is thickened, about 5 minutes, and transfer mixture to a bowl. NOTE: Feel free to use additional cornstarch to thicken if the mixture does not reach a consistency to your liking.
• Cool mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Fold raspberries and remaining cup rhubarb into mixture until just combined.
• Chill rhubarb filling, covered, at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk to make an egg wash.
• Fit 11-inch round of dough into a 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plate and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
• Spoon rhubarb filling into shell, smoothing top, and brush edge of crust with egg wash.
• Drape remaining pastry round over filling and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
• Crimp edge decoratively.
• With a sharp small knife score a decorative pattern on crust and brush crust evenly with some egg wash.
• Sprinkle crust with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake pie on a baking sheet in middle of oven 45-50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cooked through.
• (If pastry gets too brown too quickly, tent pie with foil.) Transfer pie to a rack.
• Cool pie at least 1 hour to set filling.
• Serve pie with vanilla ice cream.
• NOTE: If you use frozen rhubarb or frozen raspberries, please make certain they are well-thawed and drained, and you may need to use additional thickener to achieve the proper consistency.
