Are you looking for a delicious and classic dessert to impress your guests? Try Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! This pie is not only beautiful, but it is also easy to make with simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store bought)
- 4 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 3 cups fresh rhubarb (trimmed and chopped)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Zest of one lemon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the crust to the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and rhubarb. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, lemon zest, and salt.
4. Pour the sugar mixture over the fruit and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes so that the fruit releases its juices and the sugar dissolves.
5. Once the fruit has released its juices, pour the mixture into the pie crust. Sprinkle the chopped butter over the top of the fruit mixture.
6. Fold the edges of the crust up and over the fruit mixture. Use a sharp knife to make several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling has thickened.
8. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the perfect dessert.
Enjoy Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! This classic dessert is sure to impress your guests and bring back memories of family gatherings.
