Every spring as a child I couldn't wait to see the Rhubarb come up in our garden. My mother Bonnie would make the most delicious Rhubarb Custard Pie. We added a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream to the pie when we served it. Oh My Goodness...it is sooooo delicious!! You must try it yourself!!!

    Filling: slightly beat eggs together and add milk. Stir in sugar, flour, nutmeg. Mix together. Add rhubarb. pour into pie shell. Dot with butter. Cover the pie with a full pie crust or Lattice Crust. Brush top of pie crust with beaten egg. (I wrap tinfoil around the outside edge of the crust so it doesn't get too dark. During the last 15 minutes of baking I remove the foil) Bake for 1 1/4 hour or until bubbly at 400 degree oven.
