Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I’m dreaming of spring, how about you? Soon we will be spending weekends at the cabin and dangling our toes from the dock.

I’m so looking forward to that!

Along with hot lazy summer days I’m looking ahead to spring and summer foods too. Strawberries…. rhubarb… that means more pie don’t you think? ?

Have you been loving all of the Rhubarb recipes I’ve been posting? Strawberry Pie, Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, Rhubarb Pie and Rhubarb Crunch – what can I say, I love strawberries and rhubarb!!

Rhubarb is sweet and tart and full of flavor! This Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and a quart of vanilla ice cream? That be heaven right there!

Yes…. it just can’t come soon enough!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

For this recipe I took my Mom’s delicious Rhubarb Pie recipe and subbed in strawberries for half of the rhubarb. I know it would be a winning combination since I already loved her custard rhubarb pie recipe.

I was totally right. This Strawberry Rhubarb Pie might just beat her plain rhubarb pie.

She was here when I made it and was totally fine with me saying that because she loved it as much as me!

I kind of feel like rhubarb is a love or hate thing with no in between. I feel that the strawberries in this pie recipe balance out the tartness of the rhubarb nicely. Even my husband who isn’t usually a rhubarb fan thought this rhubarb dessert was great.

It could have been the five scoops of ice cream on top, too! ?

How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place crust in pie in, crimping the edges to make it pretty.
3. Clean the strawberries, remove the stems and roughly chop.
4. Slice the rhubarb into 1/2 inch piece.
5. Combine the remaining ingredients. Pour into the uncooked pie shell.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the middle of the pie is set.

I know we’ve talked about rhubarb a bit lately, but here are a few more tidbits and information!

Is the skin of rhubarb poisonous?

No, not at all! The leaves of the rhubarb are poisonous and must be discarded.

Do you have to peel rhubarb for pie?

No, there’s no need to peel the stalks of rhubarb. Once baked it becomes tender.

Can I eat rhubarb raw?

Sure you can… though I’m not sure you’d want to! Having said that, by all means, give it a taste. You’ll pucker up as it’s quite tart. You can dip it in sugar or drizzle it with honey to sweeten it. Or be like me – bake it into this amazing pie with strawberries!!!

Pie Baking Tips!

• Putting a sheet pan underneath the pie during baking will help keep the oven clean if it bubbles over.
• Keeping the dough cold and handle it as little as possible. Warm dough doesn’t bake up light and makes a tough crust.
• If the crust on the pie is getting a little too dark, fold a wide strip of foil around the edges of the crust. This will keep the crust from getting burnt.
• Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. If you serve a fruit pie warm, all of the filling will drizzle out and you won’t have that beautiful slice of pie!
