Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place rolled-out pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine rhubarb and strawberries in a bowl; transfer to the pie crust, distributing evenly.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, flour, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Slowly pour filling over rhubarb mixture until it just reaches the top edge of the crust. Scatter diced butter evenly over the top of the filling. Lightly tap and shake the baking sheet to remove any air bubbles.
- Transfer pie to the preheated oven and bake, turning halfway through, until rhubarb is tender and custard is set, about 1 hour.
- Mix strawberry jam and water in a small bowl; heat in the microwave until warm, about 15 seconds. Glaze the top of the pie with the jam mixture and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out pate brisee to an 11-inch round (about 1/8-inch thick). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edges of dough with kitchen shears to a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges under, and press to seal using the tines of a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Line crust with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Fill completely with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake until bottom is dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Continue baking until bottom of crust is golden, 7 to 9 minutes more. Let cool.
- In a bowl, toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, butter, and heavy cream until smooth and combined. Pour filling into crust. Scatter rhubarb evenly over top, gently pressing into custard. Bake until puffed and golden in places and slightly wobbly in the center, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tenting with foil if browning too quickly). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve, about 1 hour and up to 1 day.
RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
In Grandmother's day, rhubarb was considered a "spring tonic". Although it's technically a vegetable, it is usually served as a fruit. At our house, we used the first rhubarb of the season to make this pie, and later in summer, we'd make a delicious drink with it, cooked, blended and mixed with strawberry punch.

SIMPLY FANTASTIC RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
There are several rhubarb custard pies on Zaar but I didn't find any quite like this one. It came from a friend at work and was tried and approved by another co-worker before I finally tried it last night. I think the topping really finishes it off. NOTE: I substituted Splenda for the sugar in the filling and it absolutely could not be detected. (I would have done the same with the topping but DH made the topping for me while I was making the filling.)

DAVE'S RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE WITH MERINGUE
A rhubarb-flavored custard pie (not pieces of rhubarb suspended in a custard). This recipe goes back to the 1930s or 40s in my family. As a child, I usually asked for this pie instead of cake for my birthday. Since the rhubarb is cooked down into a slightly chunky custard filling, this recipe does not require tender springtime rhubarb and can be made whenever rhubarb is available (even frozen).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the crust sets, about 5 minutes more. Remove crust and let cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and place a rack in the center position.
- Mix rhubarb, 1 1/3 cups sugar, butter, and food coloring together in a pot over medium heat. Simmer until rhubarb is tender and just starting to fall apart, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Mix egg yolks, cream, 6 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. While constantly stirring, add to the rhubarb mixture. Continue stirring; simmer until mixture starts to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract to the meringue.
- Pour the rhubarb mixture into the baked pie crust. Pile meringue lightly on top of the filling. Spread meringue to touch the crust, sealing in the filling. Shape the top of the meringue into a nice pattern, with high points and edges that will brown when baked.
- Bake until firm and delicately browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool until custard is set, about 2 hours. Keep refrigerated.

RHUBARB ORANGE CUSTARD PIE
Once you try this pie it will spoil you for other rhubarb pie recipes. This recipe is from the old Farm Journal pie book from the sixties and is a family favorite. That book had several wonderful recipes. Unfortunately the book was poorly made and disintegrated all too soon. We were thrilled to learn that it had been re-issued but discovered to our dismay that that all of our favorite recipes were gone! We made do by photo copying the remains of the old book and now you get to share in the bounty. By the way NEVER skip the drip pan! This pie will always overflow and it makes a nasty smelly mess on the bottom of the oven if you don't have something to catch it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut butter into flour with salt using a fork until the mixture has the consistency of lumpy sand.
- Add ice water until the dough just starts to come together. Add a little of the water at a time. More water may be needed to get to bind on a dry day.
- Wrap and refrigerate dough.
- Add rhubarb, powdered sugar, water, cornstarch and nutmeg to a pan and simmer until rhubarb is tender and mixture is thick. Remove from heat when done and allow to cool slightly before adding strawberries.
- Combine all custard ingredients except eggs and cook at medium until thickened slightly. Turn heat to low. Add some of the warm mixture to the beaten eggs to temper, and then add eggs to remaining custard ingredients. Allow to thicken slightly then remove from heat.
- Remove chilled dough from refrigerator after chilling for at least 30 minutes. Flatten layers of dough into circles with the palm of your hand, by pushing off pieces from the dough ball. Make about 10 layers of the flattend dough pieces and refrigerate for another 20 minutes. You can use the freezer to chill your butter, or cool your dough, but avoid freezing because it will be difficult to work with.
- Cut dough into two halves. Roll dough out between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper to cover your pie tin. Prick bottom and sides of your dough with a fork and make sure you push the dough around the edges down well. I like to cut excess dough off of the edge. This dough is quite flaky, and has a tendency to rise.
- Pour custard into unbaked pie crusts and bake until custard is set and crust is nearly done. About 15 minutes.
- Add strawberry and rhubarb mixture and bake another 20-30 minutes. Cover the edges of your pie crust if they start to get too dark. The pie is done when the filling is set.
- (Optional) Cook down balsamic vinegar until it is a thick syrup. Drizzle the syrup over the pies.
- A top crust can also work with this recipe. If you want to do this, make your top crust and add it on top of the strawberry rhubarb filling and bake until top crust is cooked. Balsamic drizzle can be used on top of pie.

Custard Rhubarb - An American Delight
Custard Rhubarb, a traditional American dessert, offers a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors, encased in a crispy and golden crust. Here are some essential tips, tricks, and a detailed conclusion to guide you in crafting this delectable treat:Essential Ingredients:
- Rhubarb Stalks: Use fresh, firm, and young rhubarb stalks with vibrant red color for the best texture and taste.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar combined with cornstarch forms a thick and glossy glaze for the rhubarb.
- Corn Starch: Thickens the rhubarb mixture and prevents it from becoming too runny.
- Butter: Adds richness to the crust and enhances the overall taste of the pie.
- Eggs: The key ingredient for the creamy and velvety texture of the pie.
- Milk: Provides a smooth and creamy texture to the pie's interior.
- Baking Spices: Use a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance the pie's flavors.
- Unbaked or Pre-baked Pastry Shell: Use a homemade or store-bought pastry shell to encase the pie's delicious fillings.
- Lemon Juice: Adds a hint of brightness and acidity to balance the pie's sweetness.
Detailed Instructions:
- Preparing the Rhubarb: Trim and cut the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 1-inch in length. Combine it with sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
- Macerating the Rhubarb: Place the rhubarb mixture in a bowl and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This process helps the rhubarb release its natural juices and soften slightly.
- Baking the Rhubarb: Pour the macerated rhubarb mixture into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rhubarb is softened but still retains a slight crunch.
- Preparing the Crust: Use a homemade pastry recipe or simply unroll a pre-baked pie crust. Press the crust into a pie plate, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
- Creating the Custard Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cornstarch, melted butter, and spices until well combined. This mixture will form the pie's creamy and decadent interior.
- Assembly: Pour the cooled rhubarb mixture into the pie crust. Top it with the prepared egg mixture. If desired, sprinkle some additional nutmeg or cinnamon on top.
- Baking the Custard Rhubarb: Place the assembled pie in a preheated 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for don
