What is Rhubarb?

Rhubarb Pie Making Tips

01 Use fresh and crisp rhubarb stalks

02 Boost the flavors.

03 Cut slits into top crust layer to vent steam.

04 Use water to act as glue to pie crust for easier sealing.

Use fresh crisp rhubarb stalks

01

Look for fresh, crisp rhubarb that is pink to red in color (for ascetics). If using frozen, it must remain frozen (do not thaw).

Add more flavor

Dot the top of the rhubarb pie filling with butter to add more flavor. You could substitute almond extract for the vanilla extract for a bolder flavor.

Vent dough

Always cut slits in pie dough to allow steam to escape while pie is baking and allow water evaporation.

Seal and crimp crust

Use water around the outer edges of pie crust to assist dough in sticking together when sealing and crimping the edges of pie dough.

💭 TOP TIPS

If you don't have pie guards to prevent the crust from burning, use aluminum foil strips to cover the edges of dough.

Serve cold
