Posts Tagged ‘rhubarb custard pie’

Rhubarb is one of my favorites (which you might notice if you search rhubarb on my blog).  :)   This pie recipe is from my Mom and since rhubarb season is just starting up I figured I better clear out the rest of the frozen rhubarb I have before I even start to think about using this year’s crop.  I think I have enough to make one more pie… my husband was very excited about that fact.  There’s nothing wrong with 2 pies in a week, right?  ;)

Served warm with a little ice cream!

{Recipe} Rhubarb Custard Pie
4 cups diced rhubarb (can be a mix of rhubarb & strawberry if you’d like)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-2 tsp lemon zest
Sea salt, a pinch or two
1/4 cup flour
Double pie crust of choice (I used the same dough as in this recipe)

Beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the lemon zest, sea salt & sugar.  Stir in the rhubarb and flour.  Pour mixture into a pie plate lined with crust (you can dot the top with a little butter for some extra richness).  Place the second crust on top, fold top crust under and crimp the edges.  Cut a few vents in the top crust, sprinkle a little sugar on top and bake at 450* for 10 minutes.  Turn down the oven temperature to 350* and continue baking for 30 minutes.  Let the pie cool a little before serving.

***Note – depending on how wet your fruit is you may need to add an extra egg or a little extra flour to keep the custard from getting too runny.  I usually just eyeball the mixture.
