Recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

An easy recipe is just what you need for a strawberry rhubarb pie. And, with only a few ingredients, you’re guaranteed a stunning tasty pie.

Old Fashioned Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

Rhubarb by itself is exceptionally tart. And, most people find it not really great to eat. This strong sour flavor has to be offset with sugar in order to use the beautiful rhubarb stems.

Rhurbarb is a vegetable. And, its stems look like a reddish crimson celery. Unlike celery, you’re unlikely to just slice these stems and eat them. You’re going to need to cook the rhubarb and you will need sweetener. 

It’s very important to know that the leaves of rhubarb are very poisonous! Do NOT eat them. They’re high in oxalic acid, which can quickly cause kidney failure in humans.

Amish Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

Amish strawberry rhubarb pie typically has a custard in it. Made from eggs, cream and sugar, the custard helps with mellowing the sour tart taste of the rhubarb. And, the naturally sweet strawberries add even more delight.

When strawberries are in season, this is the pie to make. And, making it a ‘flat’ pie is even more effortless with your baking. 

Honestly, this flat pie is like a ‘pizza’ but it’s a sweet delicious ‘pie’! Just shift your thinking about what really makes a pie a pie. 

Another thing, you can have even a larger slice because it’s flat and is basically fruit. 

Easy Pie Crust Recipes

For me, easy pie crusts are a must when baking. Sure I can make my pie crust from scratch. And, I have. But, refrigerated pie crusts can be a very close second to homemade. And, they save some serious time, energy and mess.

For this recipe, I really think the puff pastry is the way to go. If you want to use homemade pie dough or even a refrigerated pie dough that would work, too. 

So, see, you have options!

Rhubarb Desserts

Rhubarb desserts don’t have to be complicated. 

Here are some simple ideas for using rhubarb in desserts and other dishes. 

  • Simply simmer your sliced rhubarb in some water and sugar. You could actually use the first part of this recipe where we make a ‘jammy’ rhubarb for the recipe. Serve over ice cream.
  • Make a simple syrup (about 2 cups sliced rhubarb + 1 1/2 cups water + 3/4 cup sugar) with the sliced rhubarb. Simmer about 8-10 minutes. Strain off the rhubarb from the liquid. Then use in a mocktail or cocktail of your choice. 
  • Use roughly ground rhubarb stems (slice rhubarb and pulse in food processor) in an apple or banana bread recipe. 
  • Finely dice up rhubarb stems and use in your scone recipe! Here are some of my scone creations! 
  • Make a simple rhubarb ‘jam’ (rhubarb + water + sugar + lemon juice) and serve with chicken and pork.

Rhubarb and Strawberry Recipes

While strawberry seems to be the natural partner of rhubarb, don’t forget that it can be paired with other things: apples, figs, pears, bananas and more.

Lest we not forget that rhubarb stems are exceptionally nutritious. Full of calcium, manganese, vitamins C, and K, fiber and those glorious antioxidants. Rhubarb also has been found to help digestion! 

When you cook rhubarb, it essentially falls apart into translucent fibers. And, its juices thicken nicely. That means it’s perfect for chutneys and pairing with other fruits like peaches. 

If you’re lucky enough to find rhubarb year-round, then you’ll enjoy experimenting with many recipes. Otherwise, look for it from about April through July

    7/3/2022. Made this for my husband as he loves rhubarb and as a 4th of a July dessert. Mind you, I’ve never cooked or eaten rhubarb but I followed your recipe with a few exceptions: used a pre-made thin pizza crust and from another recipe of yours, I took a can of sweet condensed milk and 2 eggs, mixed those well as a layer between the crust and the rhubarb/strawberry mixture. My husband loved it and when I went to pack this up for the 4th of a July party, a few pieces were missing. Everyone loved this dessert and couldn’t believe I used a pizza crust and coconut sugar. Thank you for another fabulous recipe!

    1. Faith!!! Oh, me thinks that those pieces were the work of a ‘weetle food seeker’! Ha ha! I love love what you did. You made the custard w/the eggs and sweetened condensed milk. So simple and delicious! And, that pizza crust I think is perfect. I’m so glad you’re here, and, thank you, for taking time to share w/me. Don’t be a stranger! xoxx ally
