This recipe caught my eye as I had a lot of rhubarb and like the idea of the recipe.. I made this and it is really a nice, sweet pie that is not to tart, but can still taste the rhubarb. My husband even had a slice..(I told him it was a custard style as he would just die if he knew that he was eating sour cream) He did lick his paper plate and said it was a little sweet but didn't complain about the rhubarb. He said that it needed more tapioca (his favorite dessert) :) You could see the tapioca when you sunk your fork into it. Recipe by K. Rusten
