Strawberry Rhubarb pie recipe can be found on the Minute tapioca box. I always use both more rhubabrb and strawberries than recipe calls for but it does make a great pie. I grew up eating that pie as did all my siblings annd some of us love it while others hate it. Strange. I do freeze my rhubarb and then use it frozen in my pies or crisps cuz we like it whenever and not just when rhubabrb is in season. I have 1 substantial patch and one that's fixing to become substantial. BTW: My DD's generally don't eat the pies b/c of the rhubarb.

My Mom's Rhubarb Pie recipe is as follows:
Put 3 cups of chopped rhubarb into unbaked pie shell. Beat together 1 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons flour and 2 eggs. Pour beaten mixture over rhubarb. Bake 400 degrees for about 30 minuts.

I also found recipes at http://www.rhubarbinfo.com/recipes

Thanks Dana! That recipe sounds so simple, I think I'll give it a try before I give away all the rest of my rhubarb. :)

Edited: Forgot to ask ... do you put a top crust on your pie?

LOL dixiechunk!! I think you're the only person I know that doesn't like rhubarb! How long has it been since you tried it? Maybe your tastebuds have changed ... maybe your relative didn't know how to cook rhubarb, maybe that's why you didn't like it!?!?! :)

Oh, no doubt about the fact that this woman may have not been the best cook (although my cousin, her grandson, thought she was the best cook in the world!) and my tastes certainly may have changed but not enough to actually buy rhubarb and cook it myself. If someone said "here try this" I would, but honestly, I don't know a single person in this neck of the woods who makes any rhubarb dishes.

No. It has Pennsylvania German roots, and they don't put top crusts on many of their fruit/rhubarb pies.
