Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
My dad came to visit a couple weeks ago to meet his first grandchild, baby B. It was a fun weekend with great weather. Since I rarely see my dad, I decided to bake him something special while he was here.
Now my dad loves rhubarb. Absolutely LOVES it. So naturally, I decided to make something with rhubarb. Another thing my dad loves is pie. I’m actually not a huge fan of pies. And I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because you can’t really taste test it before putting it out for everyone to enjoy. I definitely get a boost of confidence when I can actually taste something first.
But even without the taste testing, this pie turned out amazing. I baked it a couple days before we served it and just left it at room temperature covered in foil. I served it with vanilla ice cream and everyone enjoyed it. The only substitution I made was to use 1/4 tsp cardamom instead of the orange peel since I didn’t have any oranges on hand.
This was my first lattice pie crust and I have to admit I think it turned out pretty darn nice looking! I just rolled out the pie crust and used a sharp knife to cut strips. Then I started in the middle and worked my way out.
Be sure that you don’t overlook the step where you let the strawberries and rhubarb sit in a colander for an hour. It will release a lot of juice from the fruit. If that juice was in the pie, it would make the bottom crust very soggy and the pie would probably be a soupy mess. Sorry for not having any pics of a slice of this pie, I took it over to my brothers and we ate it there. You’ll just have to make it yourself to see what the insides look like! It would definitely be worth the effort.

Here’s my recipe and it’s a winner: cut apples in chunks, add a little water and a little regular sugar or splenda. But then add a handful or two of cinnamon red hots!!!!!. Bring the pot to a low simmer, stirring occasionally, but stop just before apples turn to much, in other words, they’re barely done. Remove from heat and serve. They really are delicious, hot or cold. The apple chunks are delightful. Try it and hope you also like it.
