    Amish Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

    There are few things in my mind more synonymous with Amish culinary culture than rhubarb. Ever since I first began visiting Amish farms back in the early 1990s, rhubarb fills my memories. The tart taste of rhubarb has long been a favorite among the Amish, I think it’s just that rhubarb is so easy to grow and it’s a little different in taste. And rhubarb is versatile. It can be used in breads, muffins, jams, spreads, pies…and on and on.

    I’ve had plenty of plain rhubarb pie and really like it, especially with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream on top. But many bakers like to pair it with strawberry. The two flavors sort of melt well together, giving you this great tart and sweet combination. So strawberry rhubarb pie is also a very popular confection on Amish farms.

    This is a strawberry-rhubarb pie that my mother-in-law made. Delicious as it looks!  So I thought I'd share with you an old Amish recipe for homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie.

    As far as the crust goes. You have options. You can "cheat" and just use a frozen crust. I'm partial to the "pat-a-pan" pie crust. So easy.

    You can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. I think 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of rhubarb works well. But, hey, you can never have too much sugar in my opinion, so feel free to add a bit more. These ratios, however, work well.

    🥧 Classic Amish Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

    • 1 beaten egg
    • 1 cup of sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 cups rhubarb
    • 2 tablespoons of flour
    • dash salt
    • ½ cup fresh strawberries

    📋 Instructions

    1. Mix all of the above ingredients and pour into an unbaked pie shell.
    2. Put on a top crust and flute and crimp the edges.
    3. Make some slits in the crust so that heat can escape.
    4. Bake pie for 10 minutes at 400, then at 350 for 30 minutes.

      I love the never fail pie crust. I always make a double batch and roll it out then spread it with cinnamon and sugar, or sometimes peanut butter and chocolate chips. Roll it up and bake. After baking cut into 2" slices, good warm or cold.
