We recently visited my husband's grandparents up north. I decided to use some of the rhubarb to make a rhubarb pie to share with them. It went over very well. Case in point: Grandma, who has Alzheimer's, usually needs help feeding herself. Well, after she finished her piece she grabbed Grandpa's hand, fork and some of his pie so she could get another bite :) Here is a link to the
recipe if you are interested. I cheated and used a store bought crust. A homemade crust and vanilla ice cream would make it even better.
Grandma used to do a lot of cooking/baking. I'm curious if she has a good pie recipe hiding somewhere. Do you have any family pie recipes that have been passed down?
On a side note, before we left for the trip, I used a few of the mushrooms and chives on a frozen pizza. The frozen pizza was nothing special, but finding out that Jackson really likes mushrooms was :)
My absolute favorite pie of all time is Strawberry-Rhubarb pie. I made 4 or 5 last summer during June. I am still trying to work out the kinks with freezing them (gets a bit runny....still tastes FABULOUS...I'm thinking more flour instead of cornstarch??). Anyway....check out these rhubarb recipes from Bure's Berry Patch. On a side note, you MUST go picking there if you get a chance. Last year we had such GREAT berries from there. I'm hoping to double or triple the amount and get a lot more jam and pies in the freezer for the winter!!
