GRANDMA'S RHUBARB PIE

Grandmas always have a hard time giving a recipe away because its a little bit of this and a handful of that, but I was able to get this out of MY Grandma! If you like it sweeter, use 1 cup of sugar. I like it tart so I use 3/4 cup sugar. Frozen rhubarb works fine.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb. Just thaw it and drain it before using.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb is best when it is cooked until it is just tender. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a combination of sugar and cornstarch: This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust: This will save you time and effort. If you want to make your own pie crust, there are many recipes available online.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Big Grandma's Rhubarb Cream Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's the perfect way to use up fresh rhubarb, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With its creamy filling, sweet rhubarb, and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a favorite.
