Rhubarb Strawberry pie~

Summers always start with Rhubarb~and Strawberries..
One of my husband's favorite pies..is Rhubarb Strawberry~

It's so esay..

Your favorite crust..

4 cups of fresh chopped rhubarb,one cup of sliced strawberries, 1 1/3 cups of sugar,6 tbsps of flour..I add cinnamon and cardamom..'Bake at 450 for 15 mins then reduce to 350 for ap 45 mins..Read the exact recipe as stated:)
There are so many variations on this pie.. I have tried several and keep making different ones every year..
This one was from All recipes..and they mix the sugar and flour..sprinkle a few tbsps on the base of the pie cust and mix the rest w/ the fruit..dab w/ butter and top with crust~
The cinnamon and cardamom are my additions..as well as the cup of strawberries..

It is so true that the anticipation of the garden..is one of the most delightful things it provides~




We wait months for this..
It is always welcome~

    Rhubarb is something which I have always meant to work with. The latices of your pie is so pretty- if you are a pie, Monique, this would be you :)

    Monique, your pie photo can only be summed up in three words, De-li-cious!

    And you know, ever since I converted to rheubarbarum-ism (I think I might've made that up), I now look forward to the lovely, red stalks popping out of the ground every spring.

    I don't have a garden here (just a balcony) and I miss the rhubarb beds sooo much. Your pie looks awesome and I wish I could have my garden right here...

    Lovely looking pie, and I'm sure delightful to savour. My eye also quickly zoned in on that lovely apron too.

    I really look forward to spring and rhubarb hitting the markets. Pies with rhubarb are the best! Mom always made a strawberry rhubarb, I have not. I had one with raspberries recently...yum.

    What a beautiful pie! Rhubarb has always been one of my favorites, probably because the first fruits of spring are so welcome.

    You're so right Monique; we do spend months waiting for nature to come to life(le reveil de la nature). I have never added strawberris to my rhubarb pie; it sure is worth trying...Love rhubarb; my post on Monday.

    Shirley..what a sweet comment..
    I'll remember that..Every time I see a pie now I think of the movie Waitress..Loved it and the song..About Baking a pie with a heart in the middle..next time I will do a heart..My daughter sang that song to Noah the whole time he was ine her tummy:)

    Ginette..I think it's pucker..but I got bucker and who knows.. it's probably right somewhere and your memory is charming.
    So let's keep bucker:)

    Sol..I'm glad you converted:)
    Thanks everyone..I appreciate your visits..it's nice to come to the computer and see you.
    I am sure we all feel like this.

    Monique thank you for the spelling and it's an apron, I thought it was a bag to collect apples....did you buy that tin at Chapters or did a friend give it to you, your so lucky that your friends are so kind to you when I read your blog?

    Merci...Ginette

    (Lilies of the valley are my all time favorite. I used to have a yardful of them. I miss them in Florida!)

    I confess, I'm a purist when it comes to rhubarb pies. I prefer not adding another fruit. This sure does look good, though, Monique!

    I love the combination of strawberries and rhubarb! I miss the rhubarb that my mother used to grow in her garden. I think I need to find a place to grow some here!

    It's been a wonderful week in the garden here and wonderful weather - finally. Wonder, beauty and glory in all of it!

    Rhubarb pie is something I've only had once, and that was many years ago. I was in high school and visiting an aunt. Thanks for the recipe. I'll look for rhubarb and try this. ;-)
