Father's Day Feast! Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

Every year for Father's Day, my siblings and I cook a nice dinner for our dad. One of his favourite desserts is Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, so this year that's what we're making. The recipe is pretty easy and it tastes great. So here is how you make this pie, maybe next year you can make it for your dad!



Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Dough

Prepare: 1 Recipe Basic Pie or Pastry Dough (my sister made the dough for this pie in advance and let it chill in the fridge for a while so it saves a lot of time. She uses the Pate Brisee Recipe from Martha Stewart)

Line a 9-inch pie pan with half the dough. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Measure and pour into a large bowl:

Fruit Mixture

2 1/2 cups Frozen Sliced Strawberries, thawed

2 1/2 cups Frozen Sliced Rhubarb, thawed

1 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt 

1 to 2 teaspoons grated orange zest (optional) 

Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the filling into the bottom crust and dot with:

Pie painted with cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Cover with a vented top crust.
Lightly brush the top of the pie with:

Milk or cream

Sprinkle with:

Pies in Oven

2 teaspoons sugar


Bake for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes more, until the juices are thick and bubbling. Cool completely on a rack.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my dad does! Happy Father's Day!
