Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Roll out the bottom pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust and dot with butter.
- Roll out the top crust and place over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut slits or make a lattice top for ventilation.
- Brush the top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F, then reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries and crisp rhubarb for the best flavor.
- Let the pie cool completely to ensure a firm filling.
- Pie can be stored at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
