There are few pies better than a mouthwatering, sweet yet tart, flaky crusted, warm Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Oh yeah.
MY OTHER RECIPES
This Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is definitely a summer pie. It is made with fresh, Northwest grown, strawberries and rhubarb. It is sweet and tart and tangy and delicious. Why am I posting this in the middle of March when everyone knows food is seasonal? Because today is the ultimate Pi (pie) day, of course! March 14th is known as Pi Day, but today is considered the Ultimate Pi Day.
And here’s an interesting story for all you fine people who have taken the time to read my blog: I actually made this pie years before I ever started my food blog. I only took photos of it because it turned out so damn delicious and beautiful. I was extremely proud of the pie crust because I had never been successful at making a flaky pie crust on my own, yet my mom could make it with her eyes closed. Little did I know back then that one day I’d be hosting my own food blog! Photos aren’t too shabby for someone who never intended to share them online, eh? If the photos are making you hungry, I have succeeded. Seriously, though, I’m sure you’ve had strawberry rhubarb pie before. Its fantastic. If you haven’t, you’d better make one this summer. Just use my recipe and it will turn out fantastic! Happy Pi Day!!!

- 2 all butter pie crusts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg yolk

This looks like Spring on a plate! Awesome 🙂
I definitely am craving a slice of this pie right now.. it looks divine. The only thing I need is a good scoop of vanilla bean ice cream ontop and I’m set!
