Mom's Rhubarb Pie

“There's nothing like rhubarb to make a great dessert.”


I would love more FREE recipes and tips straight to my IN BOX!

Springtime in Iowa means strawberries - and it also means rhubarb! Most people I know in Iowa have a patch of rhubarb in their garden. Here in Arizona, most don't even know what it is. When I went in search for rhubarb this May, I was told it was a holiday food. I thought the grocer meant Memorial Day. But apparently, the Produce Supervisor at my local Fry's meant Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well, to my surprise, I stumbled upon rhubarb in my local Fry's this week. And that meant it was time to make pie.
