To me, nothing says spring like fresh strawberries and rhubarb. This wonderful pie is a new family favorite that tastes like jam with a creamy custard all baked into a pie crust with a crunchy crumb topping. So good it will make your eyes roll back into your head!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Rhubarb and strawberries are a classic combination, and this cream pie celebrates those flavors. Rich and creamy, this homemade pie is filled with chunks of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb. When a slice is cut, the beautiful blush color is revealed. Add a dollop of whipped cream to the crunchy and sweet crumb topping for a beautiful fresh fruit dessert.
