Lattice Topped Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Food

LATTICE-TOP STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of the sugar and the salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening and rub into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually and gently stir in just enough water to make it come together. Divide the dough in halve and gently press each half into a ball. Wrap both in plastic, flatten into disks, and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• To make the filling, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough round to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough in the pie plate and spoon in the filling. Scatter the butter evenly over the top. Roll out the remaining dough, cut it into 1-inch strips and weave a lattice top over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges. Brush the egg over the crust and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Continue baking until the crust is nicely browned and the filling bubbles thickly, 40-50 minutes. Place on a rack to cool completely, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day. Cut into wedges and serve.

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.

• 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.

GRANDMA'S STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Crust Preparation:
• Using 2 pastry blenders, blend the flours, sugar, shortening, butter and salt. Whisk the egg, vinegar and water in a 2-cup measure and pour over the dry ingredients incorporating all the liquid without overworking the dough. Toss the additional flour over the ball of dough and chill if possible. Divide the dough into 2 disks. Roll out 1 piece of dough to make a bottom crust. Place into a pie dish. Put dish in refrigerator to chill.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Filling Preparation:
• Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, zest and juice of lemon, dash of cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well in a large bowl and pour out into chilled crust. 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. Also, you can use a pie bird for extra decor. Let cool before serving.

LATTICE-TOPPED STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in shortening and butter until coarse meal forms. Blend in enough ice water 2 tablespoons at a time to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball; cut in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap separately in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
• Make filling:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Toss gently to blend.
• Roll out 1 dough disk on floured work surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim excess dough, leaving 3/4-inch overhang.
• Roll out second dough disk on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Cut into fourteen 1/2-inch-wide strips. Spoon filling into crust. Arrange 7 dough strips atop filling, spacing evenly. Form lattice by placing remaining dough strips in opposite direction atop filling. Trim ends of dough strips even with overhang of bottom crust. Fold strip ends and overhang under, pressing to seal. Crimp edges decoratively.
• Brush glaze over crust. transfer pie to baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake pie until golden and filling thickens, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust. Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl. Gently cut the butter into the flour using 2 sharp knives in a crisscross motion until the butter is about the size of small peas. (The lighter the hand, the flakier the crust.) Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup ice water and fold into the mixture with a fork until the dough comes together-you want to work the dough as little as possible. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into 2 balls. Form each into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the rhubarb and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Hull the strawberries and slice. Combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and lemon juice in a large bowl; toss.
• Prepare the bottom crust. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out 1 disk of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then carefully unroll it over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press the dough into the plate with your fingers. Add the strawberry-rhubarb filling. Do not trim the overhanging dough.
• Make the lattice. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. With an old-fashioned crimper, sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Lay about half of the strips on the pie in one direction, about 1/2 inch apart. Fold back every other strip halfway. Lay a strip perpendicular to the first ones. Unfold the strips back over the new strip, then fold alternate strips back halfway. Add another perpendicular strip; unfold the strips back over it. Repeat to form a lattice. Pinch the overhanging top and bottom crusts together, trimming as needed, then fold the dough under itself and crimp with your fingers.
• Bake the pie. Using your fingers, pat the lattice top with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Put the pie on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 more minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse the mixture several times to combine.
• Add the cold butter and pulse again for about 30 seconds.
• Add the shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle in the water and mix until the dough is moistened.
• Turn the dough out into a large bowl and use piece and 1/3 for the other. Wrap each piece separately in plastic wrap, pressing down to form a disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until some of the juices from the fruit are released. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly oil the pie dish.
• Dust a work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll the larger piece of dough into a piece to cover the preprepared pie plate.
• On a baking sheet that will fit into the freezer and dusted with flour, roll the remaining piece of dough into a rectangle. Trim the rough edges. Cut the rectangle into 12 (13"long) strips, then place the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Spoon the filling into the pastry-lined pan in an even layer. Lay the dough strips on top of the fruit in a lattice pattern. Use your fingers to pinch the edges of the dough strips and the bottom dough layer together. Sprinkle the top of the pie with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake the pie on the second to lowest rack position of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden. Cool the pie to allow the filling to gel, then serve
