Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, plump stalks that are deep red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have black spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Then, cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Sweeten the rhubarb to taste: Rhubarb can be quite tart, so it's important to sweeten it to taste. You can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.
  • Use a thickener: Rhubarb pie filling can be quite runny, so it's important to use a thickener to help it set. You can use flour, cornstarch, or tapioca starch.
  • Don't overcook the pie: Rhubarb pie is best when the filling is just set. Overcooking the pie will make the filling tough and the crust soggy.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb pie is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With a few simple tips, you can make a rhubarb pie that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, give this recipe a try!
