For most of my life I have been opposed to 'cooked fruit'. So pie wasn't really something I partook of very often. Then several years ago, we started hosting a 'Pie Night' before Thanksgiving. The purpose was to get both sides of our families together and share pies because after you eat a delicious and giant Thanksgiving dinner, you usually don't have room to eat as much pie as you would really like to.
This caused me to start trying my hand at making different types of pie. The result was a growing appreciation for some 'cooked fruit'. I also realized that pie crust is truly an art form! One of the pies I tried 2 years ago was a Strawberry, Rhubarb pie (even though it was November), and I loved it!! I have been working on the recipe for the last couple of years and I think I almost have it the way I want it.
In February, when all the strawberries appeard in the grocery stores, it gave me a craving for some of that Strawberry, Rhubarb pie! And, oh, it was delicious! I was particularly excited with how this one turned out! YUM!
Um, YUM!!
