Strawberry Rhubard Pie

On Sunday I decided to try my hand at a new type of recipe from a different recipe book (I told you that I was overrun!).

From the book “Sugar” by Anna Olson I made Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I have only previously ever made 1 kind of pie – banana cream. Pies belong in that scary unknown land that I am not a part of.

In fact the whole idea of making a real live pie with real live crust was so intimidating that not only did I forget to take any pictures until the very end but I also had to call my Mom in a panic part way through due to crust confusion!

In the end though – the recipe WAS quite easy to follow despite the lack of pictures showing how to shape the crust edge (thus the panic) and it came out looking like (and tasting like) a real pie!






But don’t let the chef’s word sway you…

Reviews from the tasters:

Carol C (famous cook extraordinaire): “It’s really good! I’d take the recipe!”


Russ C (self professed pie lover): “I’m not sharing my pie!”


Jason (husband of chef): “ Nom Nom Nom “ (or something like that – his words were somewhat intelligible but he did consume his piece in record time)
