Rhubarb Season!

I'm so glad that it's rhubarb season.  I love the tangy taste of rhubarb.  Unfortunately for my waistline, one of the best ways to eat rhubarb is in pie.  Here's a good basic rhubarb pie recipe.


Rhubarb Pie

pastry for a 9" pie
2 cups pink rhubarb
3 tbsp flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sugar

Cut the rhubarb in pieces and distribute it evenly in the unbaked pie shell.







Mix the flour, sugar and egg; beat the mixture and pour it over the rhubarb.








Cover the top with pastry.   A lattice top is very pretty if you have the time and ambition.








Bake for 10 minutes at 450, then 35 minutes at 350.
