Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipie

Preparation Time...15 minutes

Cook Time...40 minutes

Ingredients...

• 3 cups Rhubarb (sliced)
• 3 cups Strawberries (sliced)
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 1 fresh squeezed Lemon
• 1/4 cup Tapioca
• Pastry for 9 inch Pie Crust
• 2 tablespoons Butter (chopped into small pieces)

Directions...

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
• Mix in rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon, and tapioca into a bowl, stirring occasionally
• Let stand for 15 minutes
• Pour filling into pie crust
• Scatter butter over top of filling
• Add top crust
• Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Extra Options:  For something a little different you can try a teaspoon orange zest instead of lemon and/or a crumb topping.  The crumb topping will need a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a 1/2 cup of butter.  Just mix the ingredients together and scatter over the top of the pie.  And, in my opinion strawberry rhubarb pie is best served alongside vanilla ice cream.
