With my abundance of rhubarb and a women's dinner for 8 coming up, I decided to find myself a rhubarb pie recipe. I didn't have any strawberries on hand and since I had only ever heard of rhubarb being combined with strawberries to make a yummy pie, I thought I was out of luck. I mean, seriously, who would make a pie with only rhubarb in it?! I still didn't really know what rhubarb was all about, despite the muffins and sauce I had made, but I thought it was worth a shot. Kevin seemed confident.
I'm so glad I followed his urging. This rhubarb pie is the best pie I've ever had in my entire life (and I've had a LOT of good pies!) It has a texture similar to apple pie (many people were fooled into believing it was apple pie), but the rhubarb brings this lovely mixture of tart and sweet. You wouldn't believe how amazing this is.
I'm so glad I made a mini pie for Kevin and I to taste test and enjoy the night before my little women's get together. We tried to only eat a quarter each, but we both had to go back for seconds!
