Rhubarb Pie
Method
Ingredients
1 large pie crust (top and bottom)
2 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs flour

4 Cups rhubarb in 1/2 inch slices
4 Tbs flour
1 1/2 Cup sugar

4 Tbs butter
Milk or egg wash for top crust
sugar spinkle for crust
Oven 375 degrees for 15 minutes
Oven 350 degrees for 45 minutes
Prepare pie crust, top may be lattice
Mix 2 sugar and flour and sprinkle  into bottom of pie crust.
Mix cut up rhubarb with flour and sugar.
Add red food coloring if needed.
Pat with butter.
Put top crust in place with slits like for apple pie  (or use lattice top).
Paint with wash and sprinkel with sugar.
Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 15 min.
Turn oven down to 350 for 45 min or until done. The syrup will bubble thickly through the cuts.
Choose dark red, firm stalks of rhubarb for color. Lighter stalks are also good, but may need additional color or added strawberries to make up the bulk and color. I used strawberry jam about 1/4 cup to the mix. If you use fresh strawbrries, it may need a longer baking time. This is a tart pie, but you can also squeeze the juice of half a lime or lemon into the rhubarb mix  as you would for an apple pie.
