strawberry rhubarb sweetheart pie

I made this pie like, 3 weeks ago... my excuse is that I started work the day after I made it, monday to friday, 9 to 5...

So I suppose it's better late than never

The thing is that I didn't really have a recipe, I just had a crapload of farmer's market strawberries and 5 or 6 stalks of rhubarb. I kind of just threw it together with a little bit of sugar and cinnamon. Cinnamon seemed like a kind of strange idea but I really liked the way it turned out.



My only complaint would be that the center was a bit juicy. Next time I will throw in a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.



I made the crust from scratch too because Trader Joe's didn't have any and that's the only brand of pie crust I like. I was proud of myself because it was my first time making crust and it turned out really soft and flaky! The trick is to handle it as little as possible. I'm pretty sure I used a recipe from my Joy of Baking cookbook but I can't remember... sorry I fail at this food blogging business. Bah! Recipes! Who needs 'em?




love,
SARAH


PS I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of these amazing meyer's lemon bars that I made also, but I think they might still be on my camera... perhaps next time...
