sweet + tart- the best strawberry rhubarb pie recipe

sweet + tart- strawberry rhubarb pie recipe by kojodesigns

I think sweet and tart together is my favorite flavor combo. And strawberry rhubarb pie is definitely my favorite pie (I think that rhubarb and strawberries sharing a growing season must surely be an ordained matter). strawberry rhubarb pie recipe

My grandparents grew rhubarb in their garden, which, I think was my first introduction to rhubarb (and, of course, rhubarb pie). Then, my parents grew rhubarb in our various gardens growing up (we moved a few times). And now I grow rhubarb in my garden. You could call it one of our family traditions.

strawberry rhubarb pie recipe

I love this grand gardening tradition best when it’s made into the yummiest of pies- especially since Burke and Piper are both super into baking of any sort lately, and especially pie baking. Want to make strawberry rhubarb pie too?

INGREDIENTS

1 pie crust recipe (for sheer yumminess, I love the butter crust recipe at Smitten Kitchen… for convenience, I love this make-in-the-pan pie crust recipe)

3 cups chopped rhubarb

3 cups sliced strawberries

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

1 large egg yolk beaten to blend with 1 teaspoon water (for glaze)

*Note- this pie is fairly tart. If you prefer a little tart with mostly sweet, increase the sugar a little.Β  how to make strawberry rhubarb pie

DIRECTIONS

Combine first rhubarb, strawberries, white and brown sugar, lemon juice, salt and cornstarch in large bowl. Toss gently to blend. Pour into your bottom pie crust. Dot with butter and add top crust. Brush on glaze. Bake at 400 for twenty minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 25 to 30 more minutes, until the pie crust is golden and the juices bubble.

    Corn pudding always bubbles over in the oven, and I usually forget to put a pan under it. Totally worth it, though, it’s marvelous comfort food.

    My favorite is stew pie. Make delicious beef stew and make it more delicious by adding a yummy butter crust. I always manage to fill it way too full with stew and it bubbles over. So worth it though!

    Since I’m realtively new to the baking scene, I haven’t had much in the way of mishaps, but I can tell you that making ice cream cupcakes can get really messy when they tip over!

    Yum! I love strawberry rhubarb pie! One of my favorite messy meals is Mostaccioli! I could do without the mess afterwards!

    I like a baked egg casserole for breakfast that really leaves my oven messy.

    Cherry pie always seems to bubble over and make a mess. I think I’ll make it this week anyway.

    Thank you for posting. Made my first ever strawberry rhubarb pie today. I went to the smitten kitchen link for the butter crust recipe. Delish…turned out so beautiful.
