Best Rhubarb Pie! Oh my, the Best Rhubarb Pie!
Classic and delicious RHUBARB PIE
My mother-in-law grows the most amazing rhubarb plant. I mean, Oh my!, they are huge, plentiful, and hearty. If you've ever tried raw rhubarb you may wonder how anyone thought to cook with it?! It is very sour and never ripens sweet enough to eat plain. That is why all recipes or jams with the vegetable in it are cooked and usually contain a bit of sugar to sweeten its' sour sass. My first experience with rhubarb was eating this pie, years ago. Ever since I developed a new love and try to sneak it in all sorts of baked goods. It is only available, in most stores, fresh during the spring and summer months. So run! Get some fresh rhubarb, or go to Grandma Sharon's I know she'll gladly give you some, and make this pie. If you are hesitant at least try it in my strawberry rhubarb cobbler. Once you give it a try I know you will run back for more.
Made with Amore,
Elena and Sharon
I love the color of the sticky bubbly sugar syrup that forms on the sides of the pie.

Do you think I can add one small can of crushed drained pineapple without making any other adjustments? I had a recipe and lost it when my computer crashed. Pineapple rhubarb pie is so good!
