Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

 

 

 

 

 

When rhubarb is in season, the fresh stalks make great desserts.  Here is my recipe for strawberry rhubarb pie...

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb. of sliced strawberries in sugar syrup

3 slices of rhubarb, cut into one inch pieces

2 tsps. of white vinegar

1 tsp. of lemon juice

2 tbl. of corn starch

 

Two pie crusts (your own or purchased)

 

Mix all of these ingredients in a deep bowl that you can put in the microwave.  Microwave for 12 minutes.  Stir the ingredients well.

 

Preheat your oven to 425F.

 

Roll out one pie crust and fill a deep dish pie plate with it.  The crust should overlap by a lot.

Fill the crust with the cooled filling.  Top with the other pie crust.  *

 

Bake for 30 minutes.  Allow to cool thoroughly before serving.

 

*  If you want to decorate the crust, be creative.  I simply traced a heart in the center and filled the heart with colored candies.  The cut in the crust allows the pie to vent while baking.
