About this recipe

Grandma's Rhubarb Custard Pie
These are our ingredients for this delicious rhubarb custard pie.

I’m using fresh rhubarb but you can use frozen rhubarb, after you cut the rhubarb up in small pieces let it thaw and drain off the liquid.

Rhubarb
Freshly picked strawberry rhubarb
rhubarb
Chop rhubarb in small pieces.

Before you start mixing the filling ingredients together make the pastry, it was suggested by the viewer to make the pastry the day before and keep in the fridge. After remove and let come to room temperature before rolling it out. If you can’t wait that long, make it first and put in the fridge for a hour or so and then cut in four pieces and roll out separately.
