BEST RHUBARB PIE

MY MOTHER always made Rhubarb Custard Pie with the first rhubarb picked. It's one of my earliest memories of a favorite treat, so I feel lucky to have this recipe. Mother was famous for her gorgeous pies. Unfortunately, she didn't write down most of her recipes...just "a handful of this" and "a dab of that" until it feels "just right" guided her creations. -Dolly Piper, Racine, Wisconsin

BEST EVER STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Best Ever Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 14

PASTRY:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 tablespoons ice water
FILLING:
2 1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces (3 cups) or one (16-ounce) package frozen cut rhubarb
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • For pie crust, in a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening and butter cubes until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon. of the water over part of the flour mixture and mix lightly. Push moistened pastry to side of bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon. of the water at a time, until all the flour mixture is moistened. Gather flour mixture into a ball, using hands to combine until it holds together. Divide pastry into two portions, one portion with 1/3 of the dough and one portion with 2/3 of the dough. Wrap pastry with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until firm. Meanwhile, for strawberry rhubarb filling, in a large bowl stir together sugar, tapioca, ginger and salt. Add rhubarb and strawberries; gently toss until coated. Let rhubarb mixture stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If using frozen rhubarb, let mixture stand 45 minutes.) Meanwhile, remove pastry from freezer and let stand 10-15 minutes or until easy to slice. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll the larger piece of dough out to fit the bottom of a deep dish pie plat. Flute edges as desired. Stir fruit mixture and transfer to the pastry-lined pie plate. Roll the smaller dough out and place on top of the filling. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below the pie in oven. Bake for 60 minutes (75 minutes if using frozen fruit). Remove foil; bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Use young, tender rhubarb stalks for the best flavor and texture. Avoid stalks that are thick, woody, or have a lot of blemishes.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a combination of sweet and tart apples: This will help to balance out the flavor of the rhubarb. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for their tartness, while Honeycrisp or Gala apples add sweetness.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb only needs to be cooked until it is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: A homemade pie crust will always taste better than a store-bought one. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust, but be sure to choose one that is made with high-quality ingredients.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart flavor, it is sure to please everyone at your table. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your rhubarb pie turns out perfect every time.
