Rhubarb isn't sour. It is tart. There is a difference.

Don not add strawberries to rhubarb.

If you want strawberries, make a strawberry pie and leave the rhubarb out. Wonder why you never see anyone talking about strawberry pies?

I actually have a question now. Why do you not add strawberries to rhubarb?

Just curious.

I’ll have to bring a jar of my famous Strawberry/Rhubarb jam next time I’m down that way.

I don't because strawberries for the most part are sour unless you have fully ripe home grown ones. The recipes say to not add as much sugar if you put strawberries in the rhubarb pie resulting in a sourer pie rather than the sweet tartness that you get in a good rhubarb pie. All of the people that have tasted my rhubarb pies made with beautiful red stalks of rhubarb have preferred it to pies contaminated with strawberries.

@BullChick has never tried my rhubarb pie and is not qualified to know what it tastes like.

Not even a taste. For one it has too much sugar for me and for two I extremely dislike the taste of strawberry preserves.

The only way I eat strawberries is fresh or macerated with fake sugar.
