Okay girls, this is an amazing accomplishment in itself: I got my mom's Rhubarb Pie recipe on PAPER! My mom is one of those awesome cooks that has all those recipes stored right in her head. I'm so glad we could actually get this recipe figured out!! I must offer this disclaimer though: No matter how you make your pie, it will never be as good as my mom's! LOL!! Her pie crust is delicious all by itself!! If you beg to differ, please come to Kansas and we'll have a Bobby Flay-like show down!! She would LOVE that!If you've never had a rhubarb pie, it's soooo good. But not all rhubarb pies are created equal. Rhubarb looks like celery with reddish skin and is very tart by itself. You have to sweeten it up just right. My mom's pie turns out so pretty....pink pie filling with soft rhubarb and sweet strawberry filling. Mmmm, I can almost taste it. This pie comes along only once a year so I savor each little morslet...even better with vanilla ice cream. So here's the recipe:
Fresh Rhubarb Pie
Pastry for 2 crust pie (or) Pillsbury pie crusts
1 cup to 1-1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
4 cups cut up fresh rhubarb (1" pieces)
2 T margarine
½ small package strawberry jello
1-2 cups fresh sliced strawberries (optional)
Pastry for 2 crust pie (or) Pillsbury pie crusts
1 cup to 1-1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
4 cups cut up fresh rhubarb (1" pieces)
2 T margarine
½ small package strawberry jello
1-2 cups fresh sliced strawberries (optional)
Heat oven to 425 degrees (maybe 400). Stir together sugar, flour and dry jello. Mix with rhubarb and strawberries, if using. Put in pie pan with bottom crust . Dot with margarine. Cover with top crust, cut slits. Brush top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cover edges with foil for half the time. Bake 40-50 minutes.
Enjoy everyone!!! Oh, and guess what? I'm working on a new inspiration station, I can't wait to gather up all my goodies and show you!

CUTE card Mish, and that recipe sounds YUMMO!!!!! I can't wait to see your new inspiration station - they are always truely inspiring!!!
Your card is cute ... love that paper!! I've recently been able to get some of my mom's recipes documented too. Her apple pie is to die for ... and I suspect the secret is her incredible crust. Next I need her to teach me how to make her yummy chocolate eclairs.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Thanks for the receipe, I am going to try it soon, my family loves rhubarb!! Great card too!
I was thinking about you last night as I was reading about rhubarb on the food section of the L.A. Times. So imagine my delight in reading your blog today! Unfortunately, I left the paper at the Y (I was watching my son's swim class). I've never tried this pie but if I can find rhubarb at the produce market, I will definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing your Mom's recipe.
Another cute card! I will be trying your rhubarb pie soon. It certainly sounds yummmmm!! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Mish-your card is adorable...as always! :) You are so very gifted.
And I have to agree with you....Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie...Mmmmmm. One of my ALL TIME favorites! My grandmother used to make R&S pie--memories...She used to also make a Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce that she'd put over vanilla ice cream---mmmmm
I have a couple other rhubarb recipes I should share with you- I LOVE the stuff!!!
Smiles,

Oh this sounds glorious! I'll have to try it when the rhubarb is fresh..
Oh YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing that recipe!!! My hubby loves that pie!! Okay, I'll admit, I'm not so great at making crust....but I'll work on it!! I'll be driving thru Kansas in June........any pie left??? LOL
Yum! The rhubarb we planted last year is coming up so I can't wait to try this out! TFS!
