Nothing hides the tangy rhubarb in this lovely pie, which has just the right balance of sweet and tart. Serving this dessert is a nice way to celebrate the end of winter! — Ellen Benninger, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania
Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

There is no reason to use the boiling water, never heard of this system before this. Mix the ingredients together (raw rhubarb) with nutmeg and cinnamon, tapioca will help thicken. Thank heavens for grannies.

This was too tart for my family, will add more sugar next time I make it.

BEST RHUBARB PIE EVER!!! Received rave reviews from my family who are big rhubarb pie fans, they all declared it was the best recipe for rhubarb pie they had ever tasted. I made recipe according to directions, but next time I'm going to remember to try to add almond extract because that sounds like a great addition. I usually prefer strawberry rhubarb pie as opposed to plain rhubarb pie, but the strawberry rhubarb pie I also made just didn't compare to the plain rhubarb pie!! Will definitely be making many of these this summer as my dad is planting rhubarb in his garden specifically for this recipe. :o)

Forgot to mention put in some cinnamon and nutmeg as well. My granny's recipe.

Instead of white sugar, try brown sugar, sure makes this pie a lot tastier.

I have been making this pie since I first saw it in Taste of Home years ago. I have made it for church groups and every time I do I hear "I haven't had rhubarb pie this good since grandma passed away." Now that IS a compliment. Thanks again!

I just entered this pie in a local rhubarb contest. I used 2 cups rhubarb and 2 cups blueberries and added the almond extract. I think the boiling water does make a difference in cutting some of the tartness of the rhubarb. I also brushed the top crust with milk and sprinkled a sugar/cinnamon mixture lightly on it. I not only took 1st place in the pie category but took the grand prize. This pie is definately a winner...Raini Cacy, Anchorage, AK.
