You are a dirty liar on the tablet. It does NOT taste like that, you are causing trouble. I DEMAND that you send some to me right away so I can see first hand... what you did there !! and offer suggestions which of course you will need to continue sending to me until I know you got it right. ~!

Aaron

yes! we all need to judge it!

That's how I remembered it, strawberry and rhubarb in the pie. Depending on how much rhubarb was in it, whether you puckered or wanted more. Grandma tended to make it sour. wow for some reason I remember that quite vividly from gaah... 50 years go or so? Darnit, now I need to find some Rhubarb and revisit my childhood heh.

The thing for me with rhubarb pie is it should be warmed with vanilla ice cream on it. Then it turns into an adventure of is that a sour pucker? Yes a little but so sweet with the ice cream. It’s the effect like the sour gummy worms my grandkids love. To me it seems to be the same or maybe similar pleasure receptors in the brain that hot chili peppers hit. It burns but darn if it doesn’t make me happy! I think it doesn’t serve either strawberries or rhubarb to mix them. Now I want rhubarb pie with icecream but my blood sugar is already over 200 just from the potato salad, brat bun and the fudgsicle for dessert last night.

You are now getting me interested in trying rhubarb. Do you have a good recipe for rhubarb pie? I want to try making it.

Rhubarb Pie



1 1/3 to 1 2/3 cups sugar

1/3 cup flour

4 cups cut up rhubarb (1/2" pieces)

1 tbsp butter



Preheat oven to 425° F.

Prepare pastry.

Mix sugar and flour with rhubarb and pour into pastry lined pie pan. Dot with butter.

Cover with top crust that has slits in it; seal pastry edges. Gently wipe top of crust with milk and then sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Cover crust edges with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning (burning), remove foil when 15 minutes of baking time remain.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375°F for an additional 1 hour. Bake until juice is bubbling (boiling) through slits in crust. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.

Now throw it away, and add strawberries the next time.

Rhubarb Pie

 

[Sequel]

Most people who like Strawberry Rhubarb pie is because they have never had plain rhubarb pie. The strawberry versions call for reduced sugar because of using strawberries. Strawberries, unless fully ripe homegrown versions are not sweet so reducing the sugar makes a sour pie. Rhubarb is tart, not sour. There is a difference. All the people that I know who claimed they liked strawberry rhubarb pie preferred the plain rhubarb pie in taste tests.

Rhubarb crisp is delicious too (at least, to me). Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the crisp and that's a terrific dessert.

Yes yes yes on the vanilla ice cream! Oh sorry there I go again.

Well you sure nailed the part of the feast starting with the eyes! Beautiful pies!

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say their zucchini isn't over achieving

The only time that happens is if you only have one plant. It’s feast or famine!

 

[Ascholten]

Tart, Sour, either one.. if it makes you pucker to the point where you couldn't pull a banjo string thru with a bull dozer, the specific word doesn't matter anymore

Ill have to go find some now and try this pie, see if I can figure out how to make it decent and not a sour puss fest.

or have never tried...

I haven’t tried it either.

Dandelion wine can be the same way, you really need to let it age before it taste proper. The ice cube thing, is a good idea. My mom used to do that with the lemons they got from their tree in south florida. She'd squeeze the juice and freeze it into ice cubes and keep them in a gallon plastic bag. She'd then take a glass, throw the cubes in, add water, a bit of sugar and presto, instant lemonade !

Aaron

Read that as pesto and was very confused for a bit.
