MOM'S RHUBARB CUSTARD TORTE
My mother made this often while I was growing up. She's been gone for 13 years, but I still make this at least once a year to rave reviews. No one has ever had anything like this but anyone who likes rhubarb loves it. It makes a lot, but when my husband takes this to work, I only get the empty pan back! Prep time is based on having to cut your rhubarb. If already cut, reduce to 30 minutes.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Crust:.
- In a bowl mix butter, flour and sugar. Press into an ungreased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool while mixing other ingredients.
- Filling:.
- Cut Rhubarb into 1 inch pieces. Place in a bowl. Mix in egg yolks, 1 cup of sugar, flour and salt. Pour into prepared pie crust.
- Mix evaporated milk and 1 cup sugar. Pour over rhubarb mixture.
- Bake pie for 45 minutes. If not completely set bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and "frost with meringue." Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until meringue peaks are a light golden brown.
- Meringue:.
- While pie is baking, beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until you have soft stiff peaks.
- Cover pie with meringue and follow baking instructions above.
- Pie can be served warm or cold. All leftovers must be refrigerated.
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and keep the dough cold until ready to roll out.
- Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
- To prevent the custard from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in the hot milk.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
This classic rhubarb custard pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy custard, and tart rhubarb filling, this pie is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try.
