wow, this brings back memories.. i haven't had strawberry rhubarb pie in over 20 years but i think I recall boiling the rhubarb stalks until tender in water, draining and then adding to strawberries, sugar and whatever other ingredients and baking in a pie shell, not too bad.

Answer 5

No one is off in your answers so far. But do you want your pie to be GREAT!!? Cayenne!! Add a slight pinch to the fruit when it's cooking. Not too much: you don't want anyone to identify the pepper when they are eating it. A pinch of ground ginger is nice too; but ginger is harder to keep at the subliminal level.

Answer 6

No you dont need to. It will cook when you bake the pie! They are so yummy!! Good luck!
