The filling is enriched with a smooth, spiced custard-like mixture, making it an ideal dessert for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 3 large Eggs, beaten
  • 2.5 cups Red rhubarb, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1.25 cups Sugar or sugar substitute
  • 0.25 cup Enriched flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or margarine

Crust

  • 1 9-inch Pastry crust with lattice top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking your pie.
  2. Prepare the custard mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, sugar, enriched flour, salt, and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will form a custard that helps set the filling.
  3. Combine the fruit: In a separate bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries and rhubarb to evenly distribute the fruit.
  4. Assemble the pie: Line a 9-inch pie plate with the bottom pastry crust. Add the strawberry and rhubarb mixture to the crust, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add the custard over the fruit: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the fruit filling, allowing it to settle in between the pieces.
  6. Add butter and top crust: Dot the filling with small pieces of butter or margarine. Then, place the lattice pastry crust over the top and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
  7. Bake the pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to let the filling set properly. Serve as a delicious dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries and crisp rhubarb for best flavor and texture.
  • If desired, substitute sugar with a sugar alternative suitable for your diet.
  • Ensure the lattice crust has vents for steam to escape during baking.
  • Letting the pie cool thoroughly helps the filling to solidify, making slicing easier.
  • For a glossy finish, brush the crust with an egg wash before baking.
