For all my baking, pies are definitely not my specialty – I hardly ever make them! But when Kate invited us to a Memorial Day barbecue at their place, I decided the time was right – right for a Strawberry-Orange-Rhubarb Pie. And it was sooooo good!
We managed to polish off about half of the pie at the party and then Drew and I ate the rest of it the next day. It was sweet but not too sweet and a little tart but not too tart and the filling was lovely and jammy, not runny. The crust, which was a butter crust made in the food processor (my usual go-to crust is a Crisco crust made by hand), was perfect – sweet, flaky, tender. I added some turbinado sugar on top of the egg wash which gave it a nice extra sweet crunch. Yum!
Your pie came out beautifully! I’m so glad it was a success! 😃
Thanks! It was a fantastic recipe – I can’t wait to get invited to more BBQs so I can make it again! 😉
That looks so incredibly yummy, Anne! Maybe it’s pie and lemon shakeups for post-race rewards on the 4th?
Haha, I think we can manage that 😉
