STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• 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.
• Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: In a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix on a medium setting until the mixture is crumbly, 25 to 35 seconds. Add the remaining cup flour and "pulse" 7 times. Move the mixture to a bowl and cut in the water with a pastry cutter until a dough forms. Roll the dough into a 6-inch log and cut in half. Set aside.
• For the filling: In a bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, oats, tapioca flour, cinnamon and ginger. Add the strawberries, rhubarb and butter and mix until the fruit and butter is coated in the dry ingredients. Set aside and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a floured surface, roll out half of the dough into a circle about 1/8-inch thick to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully place the dough in the pie pan. Using a fork, "dock" the dough by poking it all over. Add the filling. Roll out the other half of the dough into a circle about 1/8-inch thick to cover the pie, then carefully place on top of the filling.
• Trim the excess dough that drapes over the sides and pinch the top and bottom crusts together. Beat the egg in a small bowl, then brush the top of the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Poke six vent holes in the top with a fork.
• Make an aluminum foil "skirt" and wrap around the outer edge of the crust and pie pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the aluminum foil skirt and continue baking until golden brown, another 20 minutes.
• Let stand until set up, about 3 hours. The longer it stands, the better!

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.
