It has taken me a while to post something new, and this is because the Summer season is screaming toward Autumn. It's hard not to get caught up in all the time spent with loved ones, and the knowledge of the warm days for swimming and family becoming finite. So to celebrate this season, and to Celebrate not being locked to the computer: I have made a Wonderful Pie.

 

Make your crust as you will. (I use Publix Brand Pie Crusts)

4 stalks of Rhubarb

It starts

1 lb of Strawberries

2/5 cups of cornstarch

1 1/2 cups of sugar (I used light brown)

Turbinado Sugar for the crust

Egg White

Nutmeg

Cinnamon

Allspice

 

First cut your Rhubarb, and Strawberries into thin slices. and mix all the ingredients into a syrupy cacophony in a bowl.

My girlfriend bought me this awesome pie pan, so I lined it with my pie crust, and filled it with my filling. My last pie was a crust covered soup with plant matter in it, so I upped my cornstarch to 2/5 of a cup.

 

A good pizza roller cut my other crust into strips so I could make the lattice top for my pie. After you get your lattice made, brush your crust with egg white, and sprinkle it with your turbinado sugar

 

After you make your top, place it in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. This is the trick of making this pie: After the first 15 minutes, turn your heat down to 350, and cook for a further 60 minutes. When you get it out, it should look like this:

15 minutes in the oven at 425.

 

Now that we have such a beautiful confection, there is only one thing left to do....

 

EXTREME ANGLE SHOT!

Extreme Pie!

Pie Mark 1 sucked. I used frozen rhubarb. This was a mistake!

Oh, Dusty!

Strawberry rhubarb pie is my most favorite food in the entire universe, you saint! That pie looks better than my mama's (sorry that bar is low).

My point is, I have been growing rhubarb for the past three years and haven't gotten a good enough yield yet to be able to make a pie. Maybe it's too hot here in NorCal? My rhubarb came from Wisconsin as there isn't a source for the plants around here.

I have been trekking down to the farmer's market on Saturdays to get a slice; not what I hoped it would be, must be frozen rhubarb, but still better than waking in the morning sucking on one of my red and orange Sperry Topsiders dreaming of the ultimate SR Pie! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Do you also have a recipe for mutton stew with apple an rhubarb? I had that once working on a ranch in Greenleaf, Idaho. I still lay awake some nights dreaming of the culinary nirvana I once floated within...

Yay! I made you happy! I am about to start cataloguing all of my pies. I make them a-plenty! The recipe's spices are my own. I suggest using them to taste. The recipe I started with didnt use any spices at all, just sugar. I found my rhubarb at a Food Lion here in GA (rhubarb is like seal meat, in it's rarity in GA) Good luck, and I hope you get a chance to try it out!!
