Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie

Didn't make the "crumb" part, just made regular crust for this recipe:) My husband actually made the pie..I just helped with the following of the recipe instructions..he seems to be all over the place when it comes to following a recipe..:) Anyway, it's totally delicious! I'm afraid our rhubarb wasn't red at all!!! Mostly green so it doesn't look very pretty like Shona's pic:( We could have added more strawberries I guess. Also used 4 cups of fruit..more rhubarb cause that's what we had the most of..I think we could have added a cup more fruit to the pie. We love strawberry rhubarb pie and highly recommed Shona's wonderful recipe! Next time, I'll add more strawberries and hopefully have red rhubarb and make the crumb topping! Thanks Shona for sharing this delish pie recipe!

Awesome, so glad you liked it! I think there's different varieties of rhubarb, we have the ruby red stuff growing here :) Yum, now I wish I had some frozen rhubarb, but I used it all up!

I haven't made rhubarb pie for years! I'm not a big strawberry lover, so can it be made with all rhubarb? If so, would there be any changes to the other ingredients and bake time?

Thanks FA:) I had some pre-made crust so Rick used that:) It's not too bad and a whole lot easier for a quick pie:) It WAS delicious:) Rick is very proud of himself;)

Shona, I googled rhubarb and you are right! There are different varieties and some are all green like what we used..I just think red is so much prettier..but since the rhubarb was given to Rick we are gonna use it for sure!
I do have some left, how do I go about freezing it Shona?

Marie, Cosmicmom may know the trick to freezing rhubarb. I know a lot of people use it for baking, but I haven't had good luck with it. One reason I haven't made a pie in years is because I used frozen rhubarb and ended up with rhubarb soup pie!

Your pie looks perfect! Treasurer the green rhubarb. It's hard to find. I had a pie that was made with green rhubarb and I've been hooked every since. I searched high and low trying to find that variety in the nurseries. No one carried it or knew where to get it. I finally found a relative that had green rhubarb in her garden so she gave me a start off of her plant. It's hardy and the leaves get as big as elephant ears.

Hi Bakerme, you can use all rhubarb. The only thing you might have to do differently is use a little more sugar. Some Rhubarb pies use up to 2 cups of sugar, but I like mine a little more tart anyways :)
I wash and slice the rhubarb, then measure it by 2 or 4 heaping cupful's and freeze them in Ziploc bags. (getting all the air out of the bag) I like to measure before I freeze that way I know I have enough for a pie or cobbler etc..I thaw it completely and drain away the liquid before adding it to the pie.
I didn't know that about the green rhubarb Diz! The rhubarb I have growing here are thin spindly stalks and rather sweet compared to the huge monster thick rhubarb I had growing back home. That variety was half green, half pink; and here it's red almost all the way through. Both taste great to me though :)

DIZ3, thanks! So cool you are now growing your own green rhubarb!

Thanks for the freezing info Shona:)

Cosmicmom, thanks for the info on being able to make it with all rhubarb. We may have a huge sweet tooth here, but we don't like things icky sweet, so sweet-tart sounds like the way to go with this pie.

Bakerme, if you don't like super sweet, then an all rhubarb pie is the way to go:) They are delicious:)

Shona, rhubarb is sliced, in Ziplock's and in the freezer:) Thanks again!

Also picked up some french vanilla ice cream to go with:) YUM:)

Thanks, Marie! I haven't seen rhubarb in the stores for a while now, so may have to wait until next season. Oh well, something yummy to look forward to. :)
