STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE



Strawberry Rhubarb Pie image

An excellent pie to make when strawberries and rhubarb are at their peak. This delicious fruit-filled pie is a recipe from Canadian Living magazine, May 1993. You can substitute a plain top crust instead of the lattice top if you like; brush with the egg glaze and cut steam vents. Tip: Keep a clear plastic quilt ruler with your baking and cooking supplies to measure pastry strips for lattice pies, to measure squares or strips of dough, pastry, or pasta, or as a guide for cutting squares evenly.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons milk
5 medium stalks rhubarb, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 ½ tablespoons tapioca
1 pinch salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg

  • To Make Crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Place the 1/2 cup oil in a 1 cup sized measuring cup and top with the 6 tablespoons of milk. DO NOT MIX! Pour oil and milk over flour and blend with a fork until it forms a ball of dough. Divide dough into 2 balls. Place one ball on sheet of waxed paper. Top with another sheet of waxed paper and roll out to fit your pie plate. Repeat with remaining ball of dough. Peel top paper off of one crust and flip dough into pie plate. Peel off paper and press dough in. Save remaining dough for top crust.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • To Make Filling: Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, salt and nutmeg until the fruit is well coated. Pour filling into the crust and dot with butter. Cover with top crust, seal edges and cut three 1 inch slits in top of crust.
  • Bake pie at 425 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Let pie cool before cutting.

Tips for Making a Perfect Double-Crust Rhubarb Pie

* Use a blend of sweet and tart rhubarb. This will give your pie a well-balanced flavor. * Don't overcook the rhubarb. It should be tender but still hold its shape. * Use a thickener, such as cornstarch or flour, to prevent the pie filling from being too runny. * If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy. * Brush the top crust with milk or an egg wash before baking. This will give it a golden brown color. * Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up. ###

Conclusion

Double-crust rhubarb pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, it's a pie that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this recipe a try.
