I had a woman give me $20 just to make her this pie. I would have done it for free, but she really wanted it. The best thing about this recipe is that it's not very hard to make at all. I ALWAYS use fresh ingredients. I only make this when rhubarb is in season. It's not grown in the south, so as soon as I see it in the stores I start buying a bunch of it for as many pies as possible before the rhubarb season is over. I bought this for a church potluck. A couple was cleaning the pan out with their fingers after the pan was gone. So, I went ahead and brought them a pie the next week.

This strawberry rhubarb pie is perfection! The filling is sweet, tart, and addictive to eat. When it's cut, the rhubarb strawberry filling holds up. It's a beautiful slice of pie. We agree with Shannon, this rhubarb pie recipe is definitely a winner.

How to Make Award-Winning Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice. Let sit on the counter for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a fork, poke holes in the pie crust. Add parchment paper and pie weights. Then lightly bake the bottom of the pie crust for 5-10 minutes.
- Cool pie crust.
- Pour in the filing. Dot with small pieces of butter.
- Then cover with other pie crust in whatever fashion you want.
- Bake on 400 degrees for 40-45 min. I like to cover the outside edge of the crust with aluminum foil so it doesn't burn (or use a pie crust shield). Then towards the end of the baking time, I take it off to make sure it's the same color as the rest of the pie crust.
- Let stand before serving.
