Double Crust Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
This pie is a great alternative to classic fruit pies.
It is one of my husbands favorites and he almost always chooses this one over any other if he gets the chance.
Home grown rhubarb and fresh strawberries and a whole lot of lovin’ went along with this pie. I’m not saying where, but you can add that on your own!
A refreshing treat overflowing with chunks of tangy rhubarb and fresh strawberries Is encased in a flaky crust that is too good to be true. And my Flaky All Butter Pastry Crust is always a great choice.
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
- 2 cups sliced rhubarb
- 2 cups halved strawberries
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup MINUTE Tapioca
- 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
- 1 Pkg 9 inch crust or recipe of your choice.
These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:
- HEAT oven to 425°F.
- COMBINE first 4 ingredients. Let stand 15 min.
- LINE 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust as directed on package for two-crust pie; fill with fruit mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with remaining crust; seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.
- BAKE 45 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly.
NOTES
**HOW TO MAKE LATTICE-TOP CRUST**
Cut second pie crust into 10 (1/2-inch-wide) strips with pastry wheel or knife. Place 5 of the strips over filling. Weave lattice crust with remaining strips by folding back alternate strips as each cross-strip is added. Fold trimmed edge of lower crust over ends of strips. Seal and flute edge.
This recipe gives a store bought ready made option also for the baker that is rushed or just doesn’t like making crust.
Using garden fresh strawberries and rhubarb is the way my mom always prepared this pie.
Where I live a garden is out of the question.
But we have a huge farm just up the street and I do well shopping local.
This pie travels well if you want to bring it to a church gathering, family meal, or school bake sale.
It has always been a popular choice when it is serving time.
Until then it can become the centerpiece of the dessert table!

You are welcome Helen. Thanks for hosting each week. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your week!
This looks really tasty. I don’t know that I’ve ever had rhubarb before. Gotta do some research. TFS
For me, rhubarb took some getting used to. It isn’t very sweet. But the strawberries make for a fantastic addition in my book. Thanks for the love! Enjoy!
