RHUBARB SOUR CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Press the pie crust into a 9 inch pie pan. Spread rhubarb in an even layer in the bottom of the crust. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, white sugar, sour cream and 1/3 cup of flour until smooth. Pour over the rhubarb.
• In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of flour and brown sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges have puffed, and the topping is golden. The center may still be slightly jiggly. Cool completely before slicing and serving.

• Bake 30 minutes. Cover the top of the pie with loose layer of foil; return to oven for an additional 40 to 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the rhubarb mixture is bubbly.
• Remove from the oven; allow to cool 2 to 3 hours. Slice and serving with heaps of vanilla ice cream.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

• Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate. Roll other round of pastry. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Place pastry over filling and unfold. Trim overhanging edge of top pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.

RHUBERRY PIE

Steps:

• 1. Bring pie crusts to room temp, as directed on package. When crusts are at room temp, handling them the way the box instructions tell you, put one of them into a 9" pie plate. (If you prefer to make a home-made crust for a two-crust pie, that's great! Go for it! ha!) Preheat oven to 400°.
• 2. In a large bowl, toss the fruit w/ the lemon juice, to coat.
• 3. Mix in all other filling ingredients. Toss filling ingreds. gently, to mix.
• 4. Spoon into crust-lined pie plate.
• 5. Cut up the second crust into small rectangles, about 2" x 1-1/2" in size. [Hint: use a pizza cutter to do this; makes it really easy!] Lay these small rectangles across the pie filling, alternating rows, leaving about an inch between squares [to look like a checkerboard pattern]. Corners of the crust pieces should touch, from row to row. Take remaining pieces and line the edge of the pie crust with them, overlapping, if necessary. (See JAP's version of the checkerboard top in their photo, above). TIP: use a small cookie cutter instead of cutting 2nd crust into rectangles. Lay cookie cutter shapes on top of filling for a creative look! I use my heart- or star- or flower-shaped bread tubes as cutters; the shapes look great on top of pies! I used the flower-shaped bread tube in the main recipe photo).
• 6. Brush the crust with the milk, using a soft pastry brush. Friends from where I used to live in New England call this "washing its face!" Sprinkle the coarse sugar onto the milky crust.
• 7. Cover the crust edge with foil, to prevent excessive browning HINT: instead of using several thin strips of foil around edges, and fighting w/them to stay on, try this ... tear off a square of foil, and cut a circle out of the middle, leaving a "frame" of about 2" to cover the outer edge of the pie. Remove foil during the last 15 - 20 minutes of baking time.
• 8. Bake for approx 45 - 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly in the middle and the crust is a pretty golden brown. PROTECT YOUR OVEN by putting pie onto a cookie sheet before putting in the oven. If it boils over, you'll have a real red/purple mess! Cool to room temp before serving.
