Blueberry-Rhubarb Pie

Blueberry Rhubarb Pie

The perfect combination of tart and sweet and buttery-flaking crusts

I was blessed once again this year with a bumper crop of rhubarb and because I’m a waste not want not kind of gal I’m trying to find as many ways as I can to use this wonderful bounty!

Now that our kitchen demo is complete and most of the mess is gone I’m taking it over to bake one of my FAVE pies!

Blueberry-Rhubarb!

Now, of course, I also love Strawberry-Rhubarb pie, but it’s not strawberry season here yet, so I will have to wait a bit on that.

And just plain ole’ Rhubarb pie is great too-except there really isn’t anything plain about it because it has a wonderful fluffy meringue and a tart yet slightly sweet filling.

But Blueberry-Rhubarb? Well, that’s a pie unto itself!

The first thing you will need is a yummy pie crust. Actually TWO of them. I use Ree from Pioneer Woman’s recipe. It’s amazing!  So much so that I replaced it with my mom’s full-proof pie crust recipe years ago and never went back. My mom didn’t like that very much until she tried my pie. Now she agrees! It’s the bomb! You can find the recipe here. 

Next comes the rhubarb. I try and take most of the skin off if possible just because it gets kind of stringy when it cooks up and I’m not a fan.

Once you combine the rhubarb, blueberries, some sugar (not a lot) cornstarch (to thicken the juices) a bit of cinnamon (love cinnamon with rhubarb) 🙂 and lemon juice in a big bowl, pour it all into the 1st pie shell. I like to use a deep-dish pie shell because there’s plenty of fruit!

And you will soon find that out after you cut into it and each piece is overflowing with all that yummy goodness.

I like to call this a ‘rustic’ pie because frankly there is no getting around a little bit of messy before you take your first bite. But who minds a little messy when you have a mouthful bursting with juicy blueberries, a buttery crust, and that zip of tartness from the rhubarb.

I sure don’t.

I just know this pie is going to become one of your early summer favorites!

Here’s the recipe!
