Farm Favorite Recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients:

Mix together:
1 1/2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries
4 cups sliced rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 egg, well beaten
(2) 9-inch pie crusts

Instructions:

Place pie crust in a 9-inch glass pie plate. (Metal pie tins react with the fruit). Sprinkle lightly with sugar. (This keeps
the bottom crust from getting soggy). Add strawberrry/rhubarb mixture. Cover with vented top pie crust. Flute the edges to seal and cut off the excess pie crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes. Pie crust should be light golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
