DAVE'S RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE WITH MERINGUE



Dave's Rhubarb Custard Pie with Meringue image

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).

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
4 cups rhubarb, chopped
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3 drops red food coloring
3 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons light whipping cream
6 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons white sugar
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

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 MERINGUE PIE

My grandma used to make this pie every spring when the rhubarb came up. Now that she's 90 years old, I had to learn to make it myself! This is best with fresh rhubarb, but frozen also works well. This is my favorite way to eat rhubarb-the custard layer really mellows it and is so delicious!

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

PIE:
4 cups rhubarb
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1 egg
MERINGUE:
2 egg whites
4 Tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Cover the rhubarb in boiling water. Let it stand for 5 minutes; drain the water. Blend the rhubarb with sugar, flour, orange juice, and a well beaten egg. Line a pie plate with the pastry. Fill with the rhubarb mixture. Bake in 450 degree oven for 30 minutes. Prepare the meringue by beating the egg whites until they are stiff, and gradually add sugar. Partially cool the pie, and then cover it with the prepared meringue. Bake until the meringue is browned in a 325 degree oven.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: You can use a store-bought or homemade pie crust. If you are using a store-bought crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • Don't overcook the meringue: The meringue should be cooked until it is set and slightly browned. Overcooking will make the meringue tough.
