Strawberry Rhubarb Pie....


Prep: 35 min     Bake Time: 55 min     Cool: 2 hours     *8 servings

Rhubarb is very tart so there is a lot of sugar in this pie. If you are using young rhubarb that is picked early in the season, the lower amount of sugar will probably be enough. Mature rhubarb needs more sugar.

Ingredients:
Pastry for a Two-Crust Pie
2 cup sugar ( I only used 1 1/2 and it was perfect)
4 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp grated orange peel (optional)
3 cups 1/2 inch pieces rhubarb
3 cups diced strawberries
1 Tbsp butter or stick margarine

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Make Pastry.
 Mix sugar, corn starch and orange peel in a large bowl. Stir in the rhubarb and strawberries.
 Turn into pastry lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over the rhubarb and strawberries.
 Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it to let out steam.
 Seal the edges of pastry and flute and if you have any left over you can use cookie cutters to cut out any decorations desired. Cover the edge with 2-3 inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove the foil during the last 14 min of baking.
Bake about 55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the juice begins to bubble through the slits in crust. Cool on wire rack at least 2 hours.

  2. Thank you Tia. This past Thanksgiving I saw a pumpkin pie that was decorated with these adorable leaves. I was determined to find those stamps. After searching the web for hours I found them at Williams-Sonoma. My husband was kind enough to make a trip with me to their Madison location to pick them up. They were $18 for a set of four. I'm not sure if they still carry them though. The flower cutter I got at Michaels.

  15. I made this recipe with Splenda and Xantham Gum to replace the sugar and flour. I also left out the Rhubarb and replaced it with Blueberries. I also added fresh grated nutmeg. It was quite yummie. I plan on trying it with sugar next time.

  17. I used pre-made crust - and cornstarch and it turned out wonderful. I also put steam slits in it. Took it to a family picnic and received great reviews.

  23. I made a 9" strawberry rhubarb pie baked at 425°F for 20 minutes and at 350°F for 55 minutes. I had a bit leftover and made a mini pie in a 3" pie plate. How long and what temperatures should I bake it?

  24. Jillian - I would bake it at 425 degrees for 9 min then at 350 degrees for 20-30 min. or until it's nice and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. I have a hard time going by bake time, it seems as though my oven takes much longer then most recipe times. With small pies you also want to rotate it a couple times during the bake time to insure even browning! I hope that this helps!

    Thank you EVERYONE for all your comments. I LOVE to hear what you think and love all the input!!
