Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

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

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden.

2. Step 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white sugar with the sliced rhubarb. Add in the butter and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Stir often, allowing the rhubarb to soften, which should take about 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once the rhubarb is tender, stir in the thawed strawberries and set the mixture aside to cool until it's just lukewarm. This step is crucial as it prevents the eggs from cooking when added.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Gently mix the beaten eggs into the cooled rhubarb and strawberry mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.

5. Step 5

   Now, unroll your pie crusts. Line an 8-inch pie dish with one of the crusts, pouring the delicious filling into the bottom crust. Carefully place the second crust on top, sealing the edges by pressing them together. For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with a fork.

6. Step 6

   To allow steam to escape while baking, cut four 1-inch slits in the top crust with a sharp knife. This will help your pie maintain its shape and prevent any overflow.

7. Step 7

   In a small bowl, pour in the milk and brush it over the top crust. This will give your pie a beautiful, golden finish. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.

8. Step 8

   Bake your pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The aroma will be irresistible!

9. Step 9

   Once baked, allow the pie to cool before slicing into it. This will help the filling set up nicely. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them to enjoy later.
