Old Fashioned Rhubarb Pie: Sweet Treat

Old Fashioned Rhubarb Pie – This is my take on Chef House‘s yummy quick homestyle rhubarb pie.

I knew this day was coming.

There are times when I think the DH does listen to what I say – or at least is very selective in what he hears.

An Old Fashioned Rhubarb Pie!

 Rooster Pie PlateI mentioned the scrumptious looking pie when I first came across the recipe on the Evolution of Tastitude knowing full well it would pique curiosity and appetite.

Problem is that rhubarb (the vegetable that became a fruit) had not yet made an appearance in the supermarket or at the Farmer’s Market. I know because he checked 🙂

Guess what? He was there when the first cart load of fresh rhubarb was added to the fruit and vegetable section of the market.  Then he remembered the pie.

The result?  The orange zest definitely brings out the flavor of the rhubarb but even once cooled, the filling was still a little too runny.  Not enough cornstarch.

Although the filling was very tasty, it was also just shy of tart.  It needs to be a little bit sweeter – not double the quantity of sugar because I nearly doubled the amount of rhubard but close to it.

It could be that the Stevia did not add the same amount of sweetness as an equal amount of Domino® sugar.

I need to bake another old fashioned rhubarb pie so I can get it right!
