Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (video)

This sweet and tangy strawberry rhubarb filling is packed with fresh summer flavors. It’s all wrapped in a beautiful flaky pie crust and baked to perfection. See how easy it is to make this gorgeous lattice pie.

This recipe starts with 1 lb of fresh strawberries and 1 lb of fresh rhubarb. That makes a whole lot of filling which is the way a good pie should be. There is some sugar added to balance the acidity and tartness of the strawberries and rhubarb. I added some cinnamon and cloves for flavor and depth. Most recipes use cinnamon and nutmeg, or just cinnamon. I happen to like the fragrance of cloves more than nutmeg, so that’s just my personal preference. Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste.

Now, here comes the secret to a nice thick filling that is not like soup when you cut into the pie.

Good old all-purpose flour, I ain’t kidding you. I’ve read a lot about tapioca starch being the best thickening agent for pie fillings, but the problem I see here is that most people don’t normally have tapioca starch on hand. Flour is a common pantry item. It’s easy to use and you most likely already have it out to make the pie crust. I’ve also seen cornstarch used in recipes, but why fuss with having to pull out another ingredient. I used 1/2 cup of flour which is just enough to thicken the amount of filling so that you can enjoy the pie the day of, as soon as it cools down, instead of having to wait for the filling to set before you can cut into it.

In the video, you’ll see that I used a store-bought pie crust. I wanted to keep it simple and focus on demonstrating how to weave a perfect lattice. However, feel free to use your favorite pie crust recipe or use my super easy, 4-ingredient, 4-steps, no-chilling-required flaky pie crust recipe.
