Rhubarb - Strawberry Pie

My Dear hubby bought me some rhubarb he found on sale, I had absolutely no idea what to do with it, and it stayed in my fridge chilling room for a good couple of weeks, till I found this lovely extremely easy yummy recipe.

And although my husband doesn'r like sweet stuff ( and I love sweet stuff to bits) we both LOVED it, so I'm sure anyone who hates rhubarb will fall in love with this Pie.

O ya don't forget to serve it vanilla ice cream ;) yummy

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sliced rhubarb ( I prefer very small slices 1 cm thick)
  
• 1 lb halved strawberries
  
• 3 tbsp corn flour( you can use instant Tapioca for better results)
  
• pinch of salt
  
• 1 pkg. (15 oz.) ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  
• 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
2. Mix the rhubarb and the strawberries with the sugar, tapioca or corn flour, salt, and orange rind. Let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Turn into a pastry lined pan. Top with the pastry, trim the edge, and crimp the top and bottom edges together. Cut slits in the top for the steam to escape.
4. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 350°F, and bake an additional 30-40 minutes longer. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or cold. If you do cool to room temperature, the juices will have more time to thicken.
