What exactly is Rhubarb pie?

Answer 1

As unlikely as it seems looking at a stalk of rhubarb, when you bake it in a pie, following a good recipe to get the right proportion of rhubarb to other ingredients, the result is quite juicy and delicious. It's a bit like a tart apple pie. Sometimes, people will make strawberry rhubarb pie, which is a little sweeter, because of the strawberries. Rhubarb and strawberry often come out in the garden at the same time, making them a natural combo.

Answer 2

Rhubarb is a large-leafed plant which is very sour. It makes a very good sweet sour pie. The pie usually has a double crust. At least it is striped over the top with pie dough. So, the answer is, rhubarb pie is just that, pie made from rhubarb.

Answer 5

Its a sours fruit that grows from a stalk almost celery looking. You can mix with other berries to make a pie but is very good on it's own too. I have eaten it raw and have never gotten sick from it. But like most things that are sour if you eat too much you will get a belly ache.

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons white sugar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
To Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Sprinkle over fruit mixture and stir gently. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
To Make Crust: In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour with salt. Cut in shortening and 2 tablespoons butter until texture is like coarse cornmeal. Place 1/3 of mixture in a separate bowl. To the smaller portion, add water and mix to form a paste. Add this mixture back to the rest of flour mixture and stir just until dough forms a ball. Allow to rest at least 20 minutes before rolling out. Divide dough in half. Roll out bottom crust and place in 9 inch pie pan.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter and lemon juice into fruit filling, then spoon into pastry-lined pie pan. Roll out top crust and place over filling. Crimp edges and cut steam vents in top. Brush lightly with half and half and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
