I agree, it can use less sugar, especially if you use early spring rhubarb that is a bit sweeter than what grows later.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-32373873489388677262012-05-28T11:37:59.655-07:002012-05-28T11:37:59.655-07:00So I made your pie this weekend to bring to a BBQ,...So I made your pie this weekend to bring to a BBQ, Well, I must say it was so good. The dough came together so easily, I did only add 1cup of sugar but supplimented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I made a strawberry rhubarb crisp a while back, and it tasted too much like strawberries, too. <br /><br />I'm so sorry we couldn't manage to meet up while you were in the area. Unfortunately, it was the week of my youngest son's birthday, my grandson's birthday, a granddaughter's birthday and my father's funeral (which I ended up not attending anyway). He had just passed away that previous Thursday, and my daughter was trying to talk me into attending. I decided against it, as he had only been a father to me for two of his 94 years.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-23521178998655154512012-05-19T11:38:53.830-07:002012-05-19T11:38:53.830-07:00I tried a strawberry/rhubarb pie when I was workin...I tried a strawberry/rhubarb pie when I was working in Lake Moses.

The recipe I adapted mine from (an old Farm Journal cookbook, no egg in the filling) calls for baking at 425F for 40 minutes. That was too hot for this particular pastry, so I made the temperature adjustment for future pies. Too brown or not, it was still a delicious pie.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-20378451448228190482012-05-19T10:07:53.553-07:002012-05-19T10:07:53.553-07:00Ribbit, it's a good 'un!Ribbit, it's a good 'un!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-40447177889281089052012-05-19T09:55:52.617-07:002012-05-19T09:55:52.617-07:00That is the most beautiful pie that I have ever se...That is the most beautiful pie that I have ever seen.

I got mine last year, paid about $7 for it. Be sure to get a pretty red variety. Mine is called Crimson Cherry, and I'm very happy with the flavor and color. You shouldn't harvest it the first year (but I did). It thrives if you pile on the composted manure very early in the spring, and give it plenty of water. Yes, it can get large. It takes up about the same amount of room as a big zucchini plant. This variety isn't nearly as large as what I've grown in the past, but it's sweeter. Put it where it can stay forever, because that's how long they live ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-76604467844851197052012-05-17T19:52:52.354-07:002012-05-17T19:52:52.354-07:00The more the merrier, Rachel!

The bushes look pretty big so I'm not sure it's suited to a p-patch but mannn that pie...droooling here.<br />The bread machine sounds pretty handy. We don't have one but my dad used to love to use his. And I do love that hot bacon dressing too. It's all yummy looking, soup included! I think my grandmother used to make strawberry rhubarb pie. <br />I'm going to save your recipe. Might be able to score some rhubarb at the local markets. hmmm. I've never done pie crust from scratch since I helped as a kid so I'm liking the idea of using the food processor. My one prob is tiled counters make for no rolling pastry space. I use a big cutting board to roll cookies at xmas time but it's sorta limiting.fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554331585975577821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-58232757180804600552012-05-17T19:26:00.842-07:002012-05-17T19:26:00.842-07:00Wow, it looks like it will be quite a gathering wi...Wow, it looks like it will be quite a gathering with all of us showing up for pie :) It looks so yummy I want to reach through the computer's screen for a bite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-22777145879521888462012-05-17T18:19:02.016-07:002012-05-17T18:19:02.016-07:00OK, Jody!
