On May 20th I posted a recipe for rhubarb pie — I neglected to put in the amount of rhubarb. Thanks to Melissa and Chelsea for the heads up.
Check out Michelle at The Dye Pot on May 26th. She posted a picture of the pie, but it looks like she did some sort of crumb topping with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar – yum!
Farm Journal’s Complete Pie Cookbook
Honeyed Rhubarb Pie
Pastry for 2-crust pie
4 cups rhubarb sliced into ½″ pieces
1 ¼ c. sugar
6 tbsp. flour
¼ salt
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/3 c. strained honey
4 to 5 drops red food color
2 tbsp. butter
Combine rhubarb, sugar, flour, salt and lemon peel; mix well. Blend in honey and food color. Let stand several minutes.
Spoon rhubarb mixture into pastry lined 9″ pie pan; dot with butter. Adjust top crust and flute edges; cut vents. (For sparkling top, brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.)
Bake in hot oven (400 °) 50 to 60 minutes.
ps. a note to all my regular readers; I will try not to use the word rhubarb again – at least until next spring.
Trick photography, maybe, but no crumb topping or confectioners sugar. Actually I used a fantastic wheat nut bread, did not remove the crusts (I can’t throw anything away!) and since I didn’t mix the sugar and rhubarb up very well, I dumped the sugar from the bottom of the bowl on top of it all. I’m going to make some more today!
RRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t actually like rhubarb, but it is fine to say. Or yell “STEEELLLLLAAA!!!” style.
