STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• CRUST.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt.
• Rub or cut (using a pastry cutter or two knives) the butter into the flour mixture, until it all looks like small peas.
• Beat together egg, cold water and lime juice.
• Gradually add liquid mixture to flour mixture, stirring gently with a fork. You may need to add the 6th tablespoon of cold water. Do not overwork the dough or your crust will be tough.
• Shape mixture into two balls, wrap each in wax paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• FILLING.
• Combine all the filling ingredients, in a large bowl, in the order listed. Stir well and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Just before rolling out the pie crust dough, start to pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
• ASSEMBLE.
• Flatten and roll out one ball of pie crust and use it to line a 9 or 10-inch pie pan. I use a 10-inch pan. For ease of handling, roll out the crust between two sheets of floured wax paper; also flour the rolling pin.
• Pour pie filling into crust.
• Flatten and roll out second ball of pie crust. Use it to cover the filling, then crimp around the edges.
• Cut air slits.
• Brush top crust with finishing lime juice and sprinkle with sugar.
• BAKE.
• Put in 400°F oven for 40 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.
• Let rest for at least 60 minutes (one hour) before slicing.
