My husband tells this joke (he says his grandpa said it): Do you think the rain will spoil the rhubarb? Not if it comes in cans. I don't get why that's funny. Then I googled it and found out its just a movie line. Um, still don't get it.
I love rhubarb crisp. Surprisingly, I had never had rhubarb pie. I was adamant that I needed to make one while it was in season. It makes me think of Garrison Keilor's Prairie Home Companion's bebop a reebop rhubarb pie. (I'm a Minnesota Native).
Recipe was from the All Recipes website:
Rhubarb and Strawberry Pie
I also used Barefoot Contessa's Perfect Pie Crust recipe.
Comments:
I didn't feel comfortable with the lattice, my dough kept ripping. I cheated. I just laid layers on top of each other. It's not as pretty, but honestly it didn't matter to anyone but myself.
The trick to using All Recipes is to read the comments. I mean read as many as you can. Thanks to these comments, I let the filling sit on my counter for two hours. Then I baked the pie for 10 minutes longer than the recipe requires. You will not be sorry because:
THE PIE WAS AMAZING!
I'm not kidding. My family ate all of it within 3 days. A record.
