Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups sugar; 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained; 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved; 1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples; Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

Every spring, I have a good crop of rhubarb in my garden, and one of my favorite ways to use it is in this pie. I adapted this version from a recipe I received from our county Extension service.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine sugar and flour; stir in rhubarb, cranberries and apples. Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; add filling.
Cover with a lattice crust; seal and flute edges. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° bake 40 minutes longer or until filling is bubbly. Cover edges loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning if necessary.

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.

I have made these pies before, and I remember my grandmother teaching me. I'm 71. BTW your videos are not working.
