Strawberry Rhubarb Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 pt. fresh strawberries, halved
2 c. sliced rhubarb (2 to 3 medium stalks)
1 1/2 c. sugar
6 Tbsp. quick cooking tapioca
unbaked pastry for double crust 9-inch pie
milk as needed
sugar as needed

Preparation

Mix strawberries and rhubarb with 1 1/2 cups sugar and the tapioca; let stand while making pastry.
Divide pastry in half.
On lightly floured surface roll out one portion 1 1/2 inches larger than inverted 9-inch pie plate.
Fit into pie pan and trim crust even with edge.
Fill with fruit mixture.
Roll out remaining pastry; lift onto pie.
Trim crust 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie pan. Fold top crust under bottom crust; seal together to make a standing rim and flute edge.
Cut vents in top crust.
Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in 400\u00b0 oven 60 to 70 minutes or until filling bubbles in the center.
After 30 minutes of baking, check pie occasionally and cover edges with foil, if necessary, to prevent browning.
If pie begins to bubble over, place foil beneath pie plate.
Cool thoroughly before cutting.
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie.
