In Grandmother's day, rhubarb was considered a "spring tonic". Although it's technically a vegetable, it is usually served as a fruit. At our house, we used the first rhubarb of the season to make this pie, and later in summer, we'd make a delicious drink with it, cooked, blended and mixed with strawberry punch.

20 50 70

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
  • Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 4 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • Half-and-half cream, optional
  • Cinnamon-sugar, optional

Directions

  • In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs; blend in milk. Combine sugar and tapioca; stir into egg mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Add the rhubarb. Pour egg mixture over rhubarb. Dot with butter.
  • Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slit in top. Brush pastry with cream if desired.
  • Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°, bake 35-40 minutes longer or until lightly brown. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if desired. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.

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.
