Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Anyone?


I returned to LA a few days ago after a long weekend visiting family and friends in MN. Before I left, my father gave me several stalks of rhubarb to take back with me.  I felt like I was smuggling illegal plants in my suitcase! :)  We wrapped them real good in plastic wrap and tin foil before placing them in my checked luggage.  I couldn't wait to get home to make some homemade strawberry rhubarb jam.  However, I quickly realized he gave me enough to make a pie as well!  So, today, I headed to the grocery store and bought a bunch of jars along with ingredients to make my pie and jam.


I started off by cutting up my rhubarb and strawberries into tiny pieces and placing them in the pie pan. I then placed the top layer of crust onto the pie and placed it in the oven for about an hour.  It turned out beautiful! 

I couldn't wait for it to cool down so my friend and I could try it out!  


Mmmm!!! Delicious!  Tomorrow...I'm making the jam!

  1. You were in MN and I missed it!? I feel awful! Was I up in Bemidji? :(

    On another note, I love this picture of you - you need to be on the cover of a cookbook!

    The pie looks amazing! I'd like a piece right about now...
