Rhubarb, in any way, shape, or form is one of my favorites! I think my mother’s childhood stories of stealing stalks of rhubarb, dipping them in sugar, and eating them raw first piqued my interest! I just had rhubarb jam, put up last season, on my muffin this morning. I agree, though – rhubarb pie, or strawberry-rhubarb pie, is the best possible way to enjoy it! Every spring I watch the shoots peek out of the earth with eager anticipation! I can’t wait!
Sounds delicious – love to try it – what is the oven preheat temp. set ?

Mom’s rhubarb pie always included raisins until the strawberries arrived.
You don’t peel the rhubarb to get rid of strings?
