3. Not a fan. But I LOVE Rhubarb/Cherry cobbler

Rhubarb pie, in any variety, always seems to have a very soggy crust - especially the bottom crust. I have some very productive Rhubarb plants and wanted some way to use them. I came up with the cobbler idea. AND I make an amazing Rhubarb/Ginger Jam.

My Mom used to make a Rhubarb upside down cake. That was pretty tasty, especially with LOTS of whipped cream.

BTW, I was the outlier in the family - everyone else loved Strawberry/Rhubarb pie.

6. Cobbler! 😋

16. Raspberry Rhubarb pie...says so right here in this 1967 Good Housekeeping Cookbook.

The pie I have been making for the last 51 years.

32. I would love the recipe for the Upside down cake if you have it, please.

[Siwsan]

34. I'll look and see if I can find it

However, I think all she did was use rhubarb in place of pineapple, for an upside down cake.

[Runningdawg]

35. Thanks

[Ms. Toad]

38. My recollection is that there isn't a recipe -

but we did the same thing you did.

7. A horrible death to a wonderful strawberry nt

9. Love it! I can remember spending hours picking tiny wild strawberries for my mother

so she could make this pie. The cultivated strawberries are good, but compared to the little wild ones, they taste like cardboard.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Yum! 😋🥧

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

10. I love rhubarb pie

But since my wife died, I'm the only one in my family who does.

15. Off the charts yummy.

I need to find some.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. 😋🥧

[sarge43]

17. Best combo since chocolate and vanilla, bacon and eggs.

Like beer, proof that god loves us.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

19. Amen! 😋🥧

[Kittycow]

20. I vote Yummy!

My mom would plant rhubarb in the backyard and we kids would pull up a big stalk for a snack after school. We did dip it in a lot of sugar, though I think Mom just made straight rhubarb pie without the strawberries, probably due to frugality.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Cool! 😋🥧

[KT2000]

22. Baking some today!

I usually make just rhubarb but today will be my first strawberry/rhubarb pies!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. Excellent! 😋🥧

[yardwork]

23. Yummy!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. 😋🥧

[lkinwi]

26. Yucky!

I’m a boring apple pie fan.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Apple is good. I never met a 🥧 I didn't 😋!

[Tribalceltic]

28. Yummmy yummy yummy!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

36. 😋😋😋🥧

[Hangingon]

29. My wife loves it!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. 😋🥧

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Yummy. I prefer it as a crisp or a cobbler, though.

Easier to make and fewer hassles regarding dough.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

46. The one I made was a pie with crumbles on top! 😋🥧

[Runningdawg]

31. Love it!

I even munch on it raw. I always wanted to grow it, but so afraid the dogs will get at it.
Here is one of my fav recipes -

Dice up 6 cups of ruhubarb, mix it with a 3 oz box of your fav berry flavored jello, refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350, butter a 9x13 casserole pan
Place half of the mixture in the pan. Top with 1/2 a box of dry lemon cake mix.
Top with 1/2 stick butter cut into small pieces.
Repeat the process for a 2nd layer.
Pour 1 cup water of the top - do not stir.
Bake 50-60 min until the top is golden.

My husband who hates cobbler and pie and say he hates rhubarb, will eat this out of the pan with a fork.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

47. Nice! 😋

[elleng]

33. The BEST!

Where the heck will I find one? I'm 300 miles away from where I grew up, where George's was the BEST bakery!!!

[Ms. Toad]

39. Make one?

[elleng]

41. HIGHLY unlikely!

[Ms. Toad]

42. The hardest part is the crust -

and if you have a food processor, even that part is trivial.

(But then, again, I bake between 35 and 40 pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving.)

[elleng]

43. You are clearly a superstar!

I had a food processor, may still have it buried away somewhere, but as my life changed, and I moved ### times, so have my cooking 'habits!'

Have never made crust, did follow Mom who used prepared crusts and did some great combos with fresh summer fruit.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. Perhaps your local grocer will bring one in for you! 😋

[Ms. Toad]

37. Wow - I had no idea it was strawberry rhubarb pie day,

when I made two today (the first in years).

We had strawberries that needed to be used - and an elderly aunt who has been craving one sind the last time I made one.

Definitely Yummy. Unfortunatey, my body doesnt' agree, so I won't get more than a bite.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

49. Not more than a bite! Bummer! 😢

[Ms. Toad]

56. Yup - but that bite was darn good!!! n/t

[In_The_Wind]

40. Yummy!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. 😋🥧

[no_hypocrisy]

44. Just made mine.

Simple: strawberries, rhubarb, a little sugar, a little flour, and nutmeg. And a simple butter crust that is so delicate.

As I purchased 3 quarts of strawberries and 4 pounds of rhubarb, I made a rhubarb-strawberry oatmeal crisp as well.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

51. 😋🥧

[Shrike47]

52. As long as you don't put rhubarb in it, great stuff. Love strawberry pie.

Rhubarb is poisonous, one of the things I was told as a child and took to heart.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

54. See Post 53!

[Ms. Toad]

57. Rhubarb is not poisonous.

The stalks (which is what you eat) are not poisonous at all. The leaves (which no one is suggesting you eat) contain small quantities of some poisonous substances - but you'd have to consume 11 pounds of the leaves to commit suicide by rhubarb leaves.

53. Back in my day we grew our own rhubarb, we didn't polute it with strawberries

or anything else. Sometimes we just had cooked rhubarb on homemade bread or biscuts. Real rhubarb pie is hard to find today, I have seen it in Amish country
a couple times.
