Buffalochef's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie image

I make this wonderful pie every Mother's Day when the fresh fruits are coming out. Don't miss the ginger in this. It is the 'Secret Ingredient.' I've gotten to where I need to surprise people who don't think they like rhubarb, by not telling them until they are eating it. I've converted several non-rhubarbers into believers.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup white sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup chilled butter
1 recipe pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
¾ pound rhubarb, chopped
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out half the pie crust pastry to a circle about 11 inches in diameter, and fit the crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Place the pie dish onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. With a pastry cutter, chop in the butter until the topping resembles crumbs; set the topping aside.
  • In another bowl, stir together the strawberries, rhubarb, 1 1/3 cup of sugar, crystallized ginger, 1/4 cup of flour, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined; beat in the eggs.
  • Roll the rest of the pastry out into an 11-inch circle, and cut the crust into 1/2-inch wide strips. Spoon the strawberry-rhubarb filling into the bottom crust, and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly all over the filling. Moisten the rim of the filled bottom crust with a bit of water, and lay the two longest strips in a cross in the middle of the pie. Working from the next longest down to the shortest strips, alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving the strips as you go. Press the lattice strips down onto the bottom crust edge to seal, and trim the top crust strips neatly. Press the crust edges with a fork dipped in a little flour to make a crimped edge.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees C (175 degrees C) until the pie is bubbling, and the crust and crumb topping are lightly browned, 45 to 50 more minutes. Cool pie at least 1 hour before serving.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll add a little more sugar to the filling.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a winner. The crust is flaky and the filling is delicious. I highly recommend this recipe!

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only change I made was to use a pre-made pie crust, but it still turned out delicious.

I made this pie for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the flavor and the crust was cooked to perfection.

This pie was absolutely delicious! The strawberry rhubarb filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again soon!
