Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is a seasonal favorite and this recipe from my Aunt Pam is an award winner! Literally, it wins the county fair pie contest a lot!
My Dad was a huge rhubarb pie fan, like huge! My grandmother (his Mom) had a patch of rhubarb and always made him several pies when it was in season. I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t like rhubarb as a kid so I was not appreciative of those pies when they showed up, I’m also pretty sure my Dad didn’t care since that meant he got the whole pie to himself!
This is my Aunt Pam’s {dad’s sisters} version of the original recipe and as a mature adult (quit laughing, I’m mature sometimes) I have a lot more appreciation for a good rhubarb and strawberry pie.
I love sweets, like really love sweets, Chris not so much! But when I make this pie he is the first in line for a piece. I’m a sweets person he is a taco person – so this was high praise.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I myself was at a loss for rhubarb so my Mom put out a social media help call! It worked-not only did I have tons of rhubarb to cook and bake with this year but the sweetest lady had me over shared her homemade salsa, rhubarb growing tips, rhubarb starts-seriously people are just amazing!
I had so much rhubarb I also was able to make a batch of Grandma’s Rhubarb Bars!
Now let’s talk pie crust! While I have my Great Grandmothers Lard Pie Crust recipe and it is delicious and actually pretty easy, I fall victim often to boughten pie crust. Particularly Pillsbury, I love it! It’s easy, delicious, flakey and buttery!
I am also a huge fan of a pie crust shield – I hate burnt crust edges on my pie! This crust also has a milk and sugar brush that makes the crust folded, crispy and delicious!
