(Strawberry) Rhubarb Pie


(No, this is not my pie...I wish mine was this pretty!)

Here is a great rhubarb pie recipe, and I added strawberries to it. It would be good with just the rhubarb too. The crust is pretty easy too!

Pie Filling:
3 C chopped rhubarb
1 C sugar
1/2 t orange peel
3 T flour
1/8 t salt
2 T butter

Mix all ingredients except butter. Let sit while you make crust. Add the butter cut into cubes on the top of the pie filling before you put the top crust on.

Crust:
2 1/2 C flour
1/2 t salt
1 C shortening
1/4 C water
1 T vinegar (I used apple cider)
1 egg

Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until it is crumbly. Mix water, vinegar, and egg. Add to flour mixture.

Roll out bottom crust. Pour in filling with butter chunks on top. Add top crust. Sprinkle sugar on top.

Bake 450 for 10 minutes, then 350 for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
