• In a bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon.
• On lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pastry and line a nine-inch pie plate.
• Spoon in filling.
• Roll out pastry for top crust; using pastry wheel or knife, cut into 1-inch wide strips.
• Brush pastry rim with some of the beaten egg.
• Gently weave strips over the pie to form lattice; trim and flute the edge.
• Brush lattice with beaten egg. Sprinkle top with sugar if using.
• Bake on a baking sheet with sides in a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes. Tip: If you do not have a cookie sheet handy, make a drip catcher out of foil paper, larger than the bottom of the pie plate, and place it under the pie plate and up the sides loosely.
• Reduce heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 50 to 60 minutes longer or until rhubarb is tender, filling thickened, and the crust is golden.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• In a 9 inch pie pan, place one of your pie crusts evenly in the pan and press it into the pan. Set aside in the fridge until the filling is ready.
• In a medium bowl, add your chopped rhubarb and strawberries. In a smaller bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch and salt together.
• Pour over the fruit and mix. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix again. Pour the filling in the prepared pie shell and dot with butter.
• Place the top crust over the filled pie and crimp the edges together. Cut a few vents in the tip crust to allow steam to escape. Use a fork to mix the egg yolk and water together and with a pastry brush, brush it evenly across the top crust. You may sprinkle some granulated sugar or coarse sugar crystals over the top for added texture and sweetness.
• Place pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment (this will prevent spills in your oven if the pie bubbles over) and bake on the middle rack for about 45-50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the top crust is very golden brown. If the crust is getting too dark before the time is up, cover it gently with foil to avoid burning the top crust while the bottom crust bakes through.
• Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

GRANDMA'S STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Dot the top of the filling with the butter. Brush edges of pie crust with egg white wash. Roll out the other piece of dough and place over filling. Crimp to seal edges. Brush with egg white wash and garnish with large granule sugar. Collar with foil and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Decrease temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling starts bubbling. Higher altitude will take 450 degrees F and 400 degrees F respectively.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Toss the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and orange zest together in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it in with the fruit.
• Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough at all, or it will shrink as the pie bakes. Spoon the fruit mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you have all the juices.
• For the lattice, place the second crust on a cutting surface and slice 8 equal size strips of dough with a pizza wheel. Starting at one edge, using every other strip of dough, place 5 parallel strips across the pie. Fold back the 2 strips that are on either side of the center half way and place a strip of dough across the center of the pie perpendicular to the other strips. Place the 2 strips back over the pie again and fold the 3 alternate strips half way back. Place a second perpendicular strip of dough over the pie. Place the 3 strips back over the pie again and repeat with a third strip of dough on the opposite side.
• Trim the lattice pieces. Lift the edge of the bottom crust over the edge of the lattice pieces and crimp the two together with your fingers. Brush the lattice pieces with the egg wash.
• Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and place it in the middle of the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and bake 45 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie pan, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough so it doesnt stick to the board. (You should see bits of butter in the dough.) Fold the dough in half, ease it into the pie pan without stretching at all, and unfold to fit the pan. With a small sharp paring knife, cut the dough 1 inch larger around than the pan. Fold the edge under and crimp the edge with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.
