Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

I recently made my first strawberry-rhubarb pie.

My husband loves strawberry-rhubarb and I have no idea why it took me 26 years of marriage to make him one.  He has other favourites that I often make; lemon pie, coconut cream pie and butter tarts, but for some reason I missed making this yummy treat.

It's now one of my new favourites.


Recipe

Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups chopped rhubarb
4 cups sliced strawberries
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp white sugar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Add strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Toss with sugar and flour and let stand for 30 minutes.
  3. Pour filling into pie crust. Dot top with butter, and cover with top crust. Seal edges of top and bottom crust with water.
  4. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut small holes in top to let steam escape.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Cool.
