How to Make Homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Making a pie at home doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these instructions for a fresh, delicious pie baked to perfection! This combination of strawberry and rhubarb taste like summer in every bite!

Rhubarb: When shopping for fresh rhubarb, look for firm stalks that are not ripped or blemished. If your rhubarb is bright, this typically means that it has a more tart flavor. To prepare fresh rhubarb, simply wash, make sure leaves are discarded, and cut into small pieces. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain before adding to your pie or it will become runny and mushy.Strawberries: Make sure your strawberries are plump and deep red in color. Once strawberries are picked, they do not continue to ripen, so avoid strawberries with too much green or white on them. Using Too Much Flour: If making your pie crust from scratch, try not to use too much flour when rolling out your dough. It can absorb extra flour and leave you with a hard, tough crust.Cold Pie Crust: This is the secret to getting a perfectly flaky crust. When a cold pie crust is put in the oven, a chemical reaction occurs and a flaky outer layer is created.Let Your Pie Cool Completely: One of the harder tips to follow, I know, but patience is key! Letting your pie cool completely is the only way to ensure that you will not have a soupy mess when its cut into. Wait at least 30 minutes before serving.
