Best Rhubarb Pie image

MY MOTHER always made Rhubarb Custard Pie with the first rhubarb picked. It's one of my earliest memories of a favorite treat, so I feel lucky to have this recipe. Mother was famous for her gorgeous pies. Unfortunately, she didn't write down most of her recipes...just "a handful of this" and "a dab of that" until it feels "just right" guided her creations. -Dolly Piper, Racine, Wisconsin

This pie was good, but not great. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too sweet. I would try a different recipe next time.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was also a bit dry, but overall it was a good pie.
