It’s time to use some of that wonderful Rhubarb in one of the most perfect of foods….pie. I have been harvesting some of my rhubarb. I pick it a little over time instead of all at once and it will last me most of the summer. To harvest the rhubarb just twist the stalk at the base and it should break free. Be sure to discard the leaves because they do contain a toxic substance. After washing the rhubarb I cut it into 1/2 inch pieces which are the perfect size for this pie.
The tastes of summer rolled into one pie...rhubarb and raspberry meld together in this delicious pie.
