STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all purpose flour, plus additional bench flour
Pinch salt
1 cup unsalted butter, chunked
1/2 cup ice water, plus more as needed
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb, trimmed, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon flour
Pinch salt
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Milk, for brushing
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl. With a bench scraper or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it forms pea-size chunks. Slowly add the ice water, folding it into the flour until it comes together in a dough; be mindful not to overwork the dough. If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of water at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide in half and form into disks. Wrap the two disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the dough rest.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out one of the disks into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it up onto the rolling pin and carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press the bottom crust into the plate with your fingers. Leave the edges untrimmed.
  • To the bottom crust, add the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, flour, salt, lemon juice and vanilla. Dot with pats of the butter.
  • On the same lightly floured work surface, roll the second disk of dough into a 12-inch round. Lay the top crust over the pie and crimp the edges.
  • Brush the top crust lightly with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Cut vent holes in the center. Bake for 20 minutes; lower the temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for another 45 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling.
  • Cool completely before serving to allow time for the filling to set up.

GRANDMA RAMPKE'S EASY RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Grandma Rampke's Easy Rhubarb Custard Pie image

This was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother. It's been replicated all over the internet in the past few years. I think the first incidence can be documented to 1995.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Pie

Time 40m

Yield 1 pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pie crust
1 1/2 cups cut rhubarb, in 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, beaten (extra large eggs are even better)
1/2 cup sugar (yes, another 1/2 cup)
1 cup whole milk (not skim milk)
cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 pie crust into pie plate.
  • Put the rhubarb in the crust and cover with 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Add the other 1/2 cup sugar to the milk and beaten eggs, and pour mixture over rhubarb.
  • Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes; let cool before serving to allow custard to set.
  • Note from Julie: this was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother.
  • Note, again: I've been on the 'net for a very, very long time, and this is one of the earliest recipes that I submitted to any search engines. What I can say: it's a tried and true recipe, one we've been using for well over 50 years. It's what my mom will be serving at Christmas this year... what else can I say?

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, brightly colored, and tender stalks with minimal blemishes or bruises. Avoid stalks that are wilted, mushy, or have brown or black spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and trim off the leaves and ends. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb should be cooked until it is tender but still holds its shape. Overcooking will make it mushy and lose its vibrant color.
  • Add sugar to taste: Rhubarb can be tart, so it's important to add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference and the sweetness of the other ingredients in the recipe.
  • Use a variety of spices: Rhubarb pairs well with a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Serve rhubarb pie warm or cold: Rhubarb pie can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you're serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb pie is a classic dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect way to end any meal. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, these recipes will help you make a delicious rhubarb pie that everyone will love.
