WINNING RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE
While being raised on a farm I often ate rhubarb, so it's natural for me to use it in a pie. I prefer to use lard for the flaky pie crust and thin, red rhubarb stalks for the filling. These two little secrets helped this recipe win top honors at the 2013 Iowa State Fair. -Marianne Carlson, Jefferson, Iowa

Steps:
- Prepare the pastry: combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, work half of the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Quickly work the remaining butter into the dough until the biggest pieces are the size of lima beans. Drizzle in the water in several additions, tossing and mixing between each. (It should look rather ropy and rough.) Stop adding water when a few bits of dry flour remain in the bottom of the bowl; do not overwork the dough or it will become tough. Gather two-thirds of the dough and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Do the same with the remaining third. Flatten into disks. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. When the dough is chilled, roll out the larger piece and line a nine-inch pie pan.
- If rhubarb is thick, peel it. Combine rhubarb and strawberries in a bowl. Mix sugar and tapioca together and fold gently into the strawberries and rhubarb. Allow to macerate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Spoon fruit into pastry shell and dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry, cut into strips three-quarters of an inch wide and weave a lattice to cover the pie. You can simply lay the strips on top in criss-cross fashion if weaving is not one of your skills. Seal, trim and crimp the edges. Brush the lattice with milk and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 40 minutes longer, until pastry has browned and filling begins to bubble. Let pie cool completely before serving, at least 3 hours and up to overnight to set the filling.

Tips:
- To ensure a flaky crust, use a food processor to quickly cut the butter into the flour. This will prevent the butter from becoming too warm and melting, which would make the crust tough.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour. Just be sure to work quickly so that the butter doesn't get too warm.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
Conclusion:
Strawberry rhubarb pie is a classic summer dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. With a flaky crust and a sweet and tart filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
