Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Measure flour and salt into a bowl. Add oil and mix well. Sprinkle water in 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough almost cleans the side of the bowl. Gather dough into your hands and press into a ball. Divide dough in half and flatten each piece into a 1/2-inch thick round. Let rest about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl to make filling. Fold in rhubarb and blueberries, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir filling to combine.
- Roll dough rounds out to the size of the pie pan and place 1 round into the pan for the bottom crust. Pour filling into crust and dot with butter. Cover with remaining dough round and flute edges together to seal. Use a knife to cut 1 or 2 steam holes in the top crust. Place aluminum foil around the edges of the pie to prevent burning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes more.

Tips:
- To make the cherry pie filling, use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
- If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a knife to remove the pits. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- To make the pie crust, use all-purpose flour, butter, and salt. You can also use a store-bought pie crust.
- When rolling out the pie crust, use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add more water.
- To make the lattice top, cut the dough into strips and weave them together. You can also use a fork to create a decorative design.
- Before baking the pie, brush the top with milk or an egg wash. This will help the pie brown.
- Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
