Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe
Quick cooking tapioca works well as a thickener for pies, especially strawberry rhubarb. Though if the pie is still warm when you cut it, it will be a little runny. If you don’t have access to quick tapioca, you can use cornstarch as a substitute, same amount.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups rhubarb stalks cut into 1/2 inch pieces (Trim away and discard the leaves which are poisonous; trim ends.)
2 cups strawberries, stemmed and sliced
3/4 cup to 1 cup sugar (depending on how tart/sweet you like your pie)
4 tablespoons of quick cooking (“minute”) tapioca
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of orange zest
1 double crust pie dough recipe* for a 9 inch pie (or your favorite pie crust recipe)
(If making a 10 inch pie, or just want more filling, use 4 cups of rhubarb, 2 1/2 cups strawberries, and up to 1 1/4 cup of sugar)
*Here’s my favorite pie dough recipe. In a large bowl whisk together 2 cups flour, a teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar. To the flour mixture add 1 cup butter (2 sticks) of butter that has been cut into cubes. Use your hands to squish the flour and butter together until you have what resembles a coarse meal with some pea-sized bits of butter. To this mixture add 1/2 cup sour cream. Use a fork to incorporate. Then form a large ball of dough with the mixture. Cut into two even pieces. Form each piece into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes
