There is more information on why below! Let's Talk Rhubarb And to thicken it all up I recommend using quick cooking tapioca. There is both white sugar and brown sugar to give it a slightly deeper flavor. I've added orange juice and zest to give another flavor profile that plays well with the rhubarb and the ground ginger adds just a little bit of something unique to make this pie. Obviously the sweet strawberries play well with the tart rhubarb.

Strawberry and rhubarb might just be one of the best combinations there is for a pie. Eating one hot from the sun, fresh from the fields when perfectly ripe spoil any other grocery store strawberries forever. And when you get farm fresh strawberries? They change the way you can feel about strawberries. The rhubarb is in and of itself a treat to get, as they are hard to come by locally. The pie was made in that sweet spot in Boston where the end of rhubarb season overlaps with the beginning of strawberry season. The recipe came from a Bon Appetit magazine and it did not disappoint. The first pie I ever remember baking was a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. This pie is perfectly balanced with the sweetness from the strawberries, the tartness from the rhubarb and the subtle nuance from the ginger and orange. Okay.This Ginger Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is best dessert to make in the magical period of time in late spring when rhubarb season overlaps with strawberry season. It's all good - no matter which way you eat it! Or eat it cold and plain - straight out of the frig. PS - we liked to eat our Strawberry Rhubarb Pie warm with vanilla ice cream. It's so rare to have all of us in one room - we hadВ to get pics рџ™‚

This picture is of my parents, my siblings, their spouses and all 14 our kids (plus one girlfriend), plus my Mama's siblings. And that's why I made it past week - we were having a huge family get-together рџ™‚ My huge family: My brother TJ declared it one of his favorites, so I often make it when I know he's coming over. When we moved home to Mississippi from Idaho, I ended up making Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for my family. And it was perfectly beautiful, if I might say so myself! Since I generally stink at pie crusts, I was really proud of this one!Д«ack to why I made this pie. For the top, I used a pizza wheel to cut the pre-made crust into ribbons, then I made a lattice-top.Д«rushed the top with egg whites and sprinkle with sugar to get the golden brown color. I've never been very good at making pie crusts (although this Pioneer Woman recipe is my favorite) so this time I grabbed the refrigerated boxed kind you roll out into a pan. I used store-bought crusts this time around. Now - a few notes before you get started. I wasn't 100% sure it was still good, but when fresh strawberries started showing up in stores, I was willing to risk it to bake this Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.Д«oy am I glad I did! I'm not sure if I did something different or if I just hadn't had one in such a long time, but this pie was the best I've ever made! When we moved to our new house a few months back, I found a few bags of frozen rhubarb deep in our freezer. Granted, rhubarb is not as easy to come by here in the south as it was in Idaho, but I do end up finding some from time to time and I alwaysВ make this pie. One of the friends that I got to know was Sissi and she introduced me to this Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe. In no time flat we had a circle of friends that we come to love and all these years later, are still in contact with (thank you Facebook - you're not all bad).

Thankfully, the Air Force is full of couples just like us so everybody was anxious to make friends.

We were 2000+ miles from home, excited for a new adventure and a little afraid of being so far from friends and family. We were newlyweds and my husband had just been stationed at his first permanent duty station in the Air Force. I'm pretty sure I'd never heard of rhubarb before we moved to Idaho way back in 1996. You can't go wrong with sweet fresh strawberries and crisp tart rhubarb, topped with vanilla ice cream, thank you very much! This Classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe is bursting with summertime flavors.
