As a young girl, I dreamed of being able to make pies like my mother. (Her rolling pin, which I inherited, was 2 ft. long and 8 in. wide!) In fact, this is Mom's rhubarb strawberry pie recipe with cherries instead. I first made this pie for a church gathering 20 years ago-ever since, everyone's looked for it at every potluck! -Eunice Hurt, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

CHERRY RHUBARB PIE



Cherry Rhubarb Pie image

This recipe is so yummy and I like it because the ingredients are what we raise on our property, the Rhubarb came from a plant that was my husband's grandmothers and was transplanted to our house.

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 c fresh sliced rhubard (1/4 to 1/2 inch)
16 oz pitted tart red cherries (i use a sm. scale to measure them)
1 1/4 c sugar
1/4 c quick cooking tapioca
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
pastry for a double crust pie (9 inches)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, cherries, sugar, tapioca and vanilla. Mix well and let stand for an hour at room temp.
  • 2. Pour mixture into your pie plate lined with your pastry, top with other pastry. Vent and then flute the edges.
  • 3. Bake at 400° for about 40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. (My greatgrandmother said if a pie doesn't bubble over it isn't a good pie! LOL!) I cover the edges with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking and then remove.
  • 4. Note: If you do not have access to fresh rhubarb or cherries, substitute with frozen rhubarb and use one can of pitted tart red cherries, drain the cherries before adding to the frozen rhubarb.

CHERRY RHUBARB CRUMB PIE



Cherry Rhubarb Crumb Pie image

I'm not sure of the origin of this recipe. I remember my mother making it in the 1970's to use the abundance of rhubarb in our garden. Most home cooks made Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, but this recipe calls for cherry pie filling instead of strawberries. It's truly my favorite fruit pie.
