Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb is hard to find in North Carolina. This pie was much easier when I could go in my own garden and harvest stalks. It’s worth the effort for us Southerners.

What you need:

  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 cups Rhubarb cut into 1 inch slices
  • 1 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • pastry for pie shell and lattice crust
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Combine eggs, sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg.

Combine rhubarb and strawberries

Line pie plate with pastry and fill with fruits

Pour egg mixture over fruit and dot with butter

Top with lattice crust, crimping edges high

Bake at 400 ° for 40 minutes

Optional: Fill open lattice crust with whole strawberries
This is especially good warm with vanilla ice cream
