Saskatoon Rhubarb Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Saskatoon Rhubarb Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take two 8-inch pie plates and gently press a pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of each one, creating a lovely base for your delicious filling.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and combine the chopped rhubarb with half a cup of sugar.

4. Step 4

   Pop it in the microwave on high for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb becomes tender and you see those delightful juices pooling in the bowl.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s ready, drain the juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to reach a total of 2 cups.

6. Step 6

   Now, stir the cornstarch into the rhubarb juice until it’s completely dissolved.

7. Step 7

   Pour this mixture into a saucepan, then add the remaining cup of sugar and a splash of lemon juice.

8. Step 8

   Bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in the serviceberries and the cooked rhubarb, stirring until the mixture thickens beautifully, which should take about 5 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Now it’s time to fill those prepared pie crusts with your luscious filling.

11. Step 11

    Cover each pie with the remaining crusts, making sure to cut slits in the top to let the steam escape—this is key for a perfectly baked pie! Pinch the edges to seal everything in, creating a charming little package of goodness.

12. Step 12

    Bake your pies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking until the crust turns a gorgeous golden brown and the filling is bubbling with joy, which should take about another 30 minutes.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your scrumptious creation!.
