 STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE
3 cups diced rhubarb 1 1/2 cups strawberries 3/4 c sugar Pie crust dough, enough for top and bottom
Mix the cut rhubarb and strawberries together in a bowl, and gently toss with the sugar. Let the mixture rest to allow the juices to drip to the bottom of the bowl. Let it sit for approximately a half hour.
Divide the dough in half, and roll out both pieces.
Place one crust in a 9″ pie shell. you can buy premade pie crust or make the pastry yourself, i buy the premade pastry as i am horrible at making it lol. Add the rhubarb mixture and pour the juice over top evenly.
You can form a lattice by cutting strips and placing them over top, or simply lay the crust down over the pie, i lay it over the pie in one piece.
Trim edges, and crimp down using a fork.
Bake at 350F for 40 to 50 minutes.
