My neighbor just brought me a HUGE bag of rhubarb. I was hoping someone has a favorite rhubarb recipe they would be willing to share. Thanks!

<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> Rhubarb Pie</h3>

Rhubarb Pie
===========
Adjusted from Madame Benoit's Rhubarb Pie - 1978

Pastry to double crust
4 to 5 cups of rhubarb depending on size of pie plate.
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons of flour
pinch of salt
juice from 1/2 a lemon
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar

Heat oven to 450°F. Roll out dough for bottom crust and line pie plate. Beat Eggs and then stir in both sugars, flour, lemon juice, salt and vanilla. Mix in Rhubarb. Pour into pie shell.

Roll out remaining pastry and cut into strips. Weave pastry strips over top to create a lattice effect. Brush with milk and sprinkle with one to two tablespoons of sugar.

Option: cut out leaves either by hand or with a leaf cookie cutter, place over filling. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Place pie on bottom shelf and bake for 15 minutes. Move pie to middle shelf and reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for 25 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

This rhubarb pie is the absolute best. It is the only recipe that seems to work with the variety of rhubarb that I have. I started making this last year when I had an over abundance of rhubarb. My rhubarb is a redder, juicier variety and the regular type of pie with cornstarch and flour just did not work. I believe it is called "Canadian Red", not sure as I planted it more than 30 years ago.

If you have rhubarb, I urge you to try this recipe. I never even would eat it before.

Easy peasy one.

4 to 6 Cups Rhubarb
1 Cup sugar
1 - 3oz pkg Strawberry jello (I use Rasberry also)
1/2 Cup water
1 yellow cake mix (dry) (normal size box).
1/2 cup butter / oleo.

1 Tablespoon Tapico *Optional, (I use to make it slightly thicker)
Place Rhubarb in a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan.
Mix Jello and sugar together and sprinkle over Rhubarb.
Pour water over sugar mixture.

Sprinkle dry cake mix on top. Dot with butter
Bake 45 minutes at 350

Thanks for the recipe.  I just happen to have some rhubarb and will make the crisp tomorrow.  It sounds really good.
