For professional tips to assist you in making a mouthwatering pie at home, we consulted our expert Andrea Boudewijn, who is a Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef.<\/p>\n<h2>What is rhubarb?<\/h2>\n<p>Rhubarb is a vegetable that grows in clusters with long stalks and broad leaves. These perennial plants thrive once well-established and produce numerous stalks. The stalks, which range in color from green to pink to red, are the edible parts of the plants.<\/p>\n<p>If you are familiar with rhubarb, you may have heard that parts of the plant are toxic. While the leaves contain the toxin oxalic acid, the stalks are safe to eat both raw and cooked.<\/p>\n<h2>What does rhubarb taste like?<\/h2>\n<p>The rhubarb flavor is a tad sour and can be described as tart or tangy. That\u2019s why it\u2019s common that rhubarb recipes also call for sugar and often include sweet fruits, such as strawberries and apples.<\/p>\n<h2>Why should I try strawberry rhubarb pie?<\/h2>\n<p>Rhubarb isn\u2019t used in recipes as commonly as other fruits and vegetables, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth trying. Boudewijn said there are key reasons for indulging in this unique dessert. \u201cIt\u2019s a lovely combination of tart and sweet and looks beautiful when sliced. This is a perfect springtime pie when both strawberry and rhubarb are at their peak season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"strawberry-rhubarb pie filling\" class=\"wp-image-1477\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0bc24cfea994befc1c85ff7f50fd6388-1024x468.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0bc24cfea994befc1c85ff7f50fd6388-1024x468.webp 1024w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0bc24cfea994befc1c85ff7f50fd6388-300x137.webp 300w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0bc24cfea994befc1c85ff7f50fd6388-768x351.webp 768w, https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0bc24cfea994befc1c85ff7f50fd6388.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n<p>Even though strawberry rhubarb pie is a seasonal treat if you opt to use fresh ingredients, Boudewijn advised that there is an option when fresh strawberries and rhubarb aren\u2019t available. \u00a0 \u201cThere are lovely cans of premade strawberry-rhubarb pie filling on Amazon,\u201d she said.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Ingredients for strawberry rhubarb pie<\/h2>\n<p>When making strawberry rhubarb pie, there are countless recipes to be found online. Boudewijn advised on the basics, including ingredients for the filling and crust and the steps for putting it together. She also described the items you\u2019ll need, from pie pans to pie carriers.<\/p>\n<h3>Filling<\/h3>\n<p>The filling of a strawberry rhubarb pie requires rhubarb, strawberries, cinnamon, cornstarch, brown sugar, white sugar and salt.<\/p>\n<h3>Crust<\/h3>\n<p>A pie crust requires vegetable shortening, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, white sugar and ice water.<\/p>\n<h2>Boudewijn\u2019s steps for making a strawberry rhubarb pie<\/h2>\n<p>Below are Boudewijn\u2019s steps for combining the filling ingredients, making the crusts, including a lattice top, putting the pie together and baking it to perfection. These steps will come in handy for preparing your favorite strawberry rhubarb pie recipe.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Filling<\/strong>: Combine the first seven ingredients in a bowl (rhubarb to salt).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crusts, top and bottom: <\/strong>Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening and butter with a pastry blender. Blend in ice water a few sprinkles at a time until the dough forms moist clumps. Bring the dough together into a ball and cut it in half. Flatten each half into a disk, then plastic-wrap each. Refrigerate until firm (I do this a day ahead so that they\u2019re very cold and firm).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Building and baking: <\/strong>Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and let your chilled dough sit at room temperature until it softens slightly. Then, roll out one disk of dough on a floured work surface in a round shape, about 4 inches larger than your pie pan. Gently put the rolled-out dough in your glass pie dish, and carefully press it into place. It may be crumbly, so do your best, and patch pieces where needed.<\/p>\n<p>Roll out the second disk on a lightly floured surface, and cut it into 12- to 14 1\/2-inch-wide strips with a pizza cutter. Spoon the filling into the crust, then arrange six or seven dough strips over the filling, spacing evenly. Form a lattice by placing remaining dough strips across the first set to form a grid. Press the ends of the dough strips into the overhang from the bottom crust, then trim it even around the sides.<\/p>\n<p>Scramble the egg yolk in a cup, then brush it over the crust. Transfer the pie to a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until the crust is golden and the filling thickens, which takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer the pie to a cooling rack and cool it completely, or dive in with a fork while it\u2019s still hot like I did.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=1473\">Single-family home sells for $1.4 million in San Jose<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry rhubarb pie FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Q. After it\u2019s baked, does strawberry rhubarb pie need to be refrigerated?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> You can keep a strawberry rhubarb pie on a table or counter for 24 to 36 hours. After that length of time, you should transfer it to the refrigerator. Always keep the pie covered to help maintain freshness.<\/p>\n<h3>Q. Why do I need cornstarch to make a strawberry rhubarb pie?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Ideally, pie filling shouldn\u2019t be too soft or runny. According to Boudewijn, cornstarch will thicken the filling\u2019s consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>Q. What nutrients does rhubarb provide?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> Rhubarb is packed with antioxidants, calcium, fiber and vitamin K.
