Strawberry Rhubarb Pie image

I love the times in life when I can combine mind, body, and spirit in one project. Baking, and cooking in general, gives me that experience. Last month as I was clearing the garden out for the winter I came across a plethora of rhubarb. What to do? Bake a pie!

Categories     Pies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CRUST
1 pkg pie pastry, prepared
FILLING
2 1/4 c rhubarb, sliced
2 1/4 c strawberries,sliced
1 1/4 c cane sugar
1/2 c flour
1 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp cornstarch, i've made pies without this ingredient but it helps firm up the filling a bit
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground
DOT THE FILLING
1 Tbsp butter cut into small pieces
EGG WASH
1 egg
1 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Cut one of the two pie crusts into strips to basketweave the top of your pie.
  • 2. Mix the filling ingredients and let sit for 20 minutes so that the flour has time to naturally thicken the ingredients; a tip from my great grandmother who never used tapioca as a thickener.
  • 3. Pour filling into pie plate that has the bottom crust put in it. I used a nine inch pie pan. Dot the top with small butter knobs. Using the strips basket weave the top of pie.
  • 4. Mix the egg and milk and brush over the strips on top of pie. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes then turn the heat down to 350 for another 30-35 minutes. You can put foil around the outside crust if it begins to brown too much.
