Rhubarb and strawberry pie
A delicious alternative to the traditional apple pie. Shortcrust pastry encases a thickened filling of strawberries, rhubarb and orange zest. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Makes: 8
- 1 (450g) pack ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
- 300g caster sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 4 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 500g rhubarb, cut into 1.25cm pieces
- 325g fresh strawberries, quartered
- 4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 30g butter, cut into small chunks

- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Line a 26cm pie tin with one sheet of pastry. Refrigerate the other sheet of pastry until needed.
- Stir the 300g of sugar, salt, orange zest, tapioca and nutmeg together in a bowl until well blended. Gently stir in the rhubarb, strawberries and orange juice, taking care not to crush the strawberries; pour into the pastry lined tin. Dot the filling with butter pieces. Top with the second sheet of pastry.
- Crimp the edges of the top and bottom pastry together to seal. Brush the pie with milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cut several vent holes in the top of the pie.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is thickened and bubbling and the pastry has browned, 40 to 50 minutes. Check after 30 minutes of baking time; if the edges of the pastry are browning too quickly, cover them with strips of foil. Cool the pie before serving.

This pie is FANTASTIC! The orange is a wonderful addition...just adds a hint of additional flavor. I followed the recipe except I used a 350 degree oven and cooked the pie for 70 minutes. The crust edges never burned. I will definitely make this again...I think next time for something different I will use my kutchen topping instead of a double crust...which is 1/4 cup melted butter...1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour mixed together and sprinkled on top. Definitely FIVE STARS! - 14 May 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Sounded so good; I had to try this pie. I used frozen strawberries instead, and made 1 pie. My wife was amazed that I could do this. Made me happy and we loved it. - 29 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
