I never made anything from Taste of Home that wasn't awesome and as I expected?..except this time. I guess there is a first time for everything, even TofH. It was a ok Strawberry pie, but just ok? certainly not enough rhubarb even through I doubled it. Won't try this one again was pretty disappointed.

The strawberry jello gives the pie an artificial strawberry flavor. I prefer my homemade pies to taste homemade, not like jello. Also, I like strawberry rhubarb pie to have chunks of rhubarb. With this recipe, once you cook the rhubarb it mushes up & just becomes part of the sauce. This was a good tasting pie, but I will not make this recipe again.

This recipe is a keeper, very delicious! I used a deep pie dish (making my own crust) and I layered the sauce and strawberries, and it worked beautifully :)
