Rhubarb Cream Pie

Ingredients:

A bunch of rhubarb, diced (2-3 cups? Enough to fit in the pie!)
Honey to taste (less than a cup -- it turned out fairly tart)
1/4 cup water (I could have used less)
Orange zest (about 1/2 an orange)
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup or so whipping cream

Procedure:

First make a graham-cracker crust, and set it out to cool.
Heat rhubarb, honey, orange zest and water over stove until rhubarb gives off its water and gets soft. Taste often to judge honey amount. (You might want to make it a little on the sweet side, because the cream will dilute it somewhat.)
Meanwhile, whip the cream. Sprinkle gelatin over rhubarb mixture and stir until it is dissolved. Remove pot from stove and put base in a larger pot of ice water. Stir occasionally until you can feel the mixture just beginning to thicken. Immediately remove the pot from the ice water and fold in the whipped cream. Pour filling into prepared crust.
Refrigerate for an hour or so, and then devour.

Custard:

4 eggs (US large)
1 2/3 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 450 F.
Prepare your favorite pie crust in sufficient quantity for a 9-inch, one crust pie.
Put the pastry in a 9" pie pan and bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. (This helps assure a fully baked crust under all of the liquid.)
Reduce oven to 325 F.
While crust is baking, prepare fruit. Wash and dice rhubarb. (I think any really tart fruit will work here. I'm looking forward to making this pie with cranberries, gooseberries, and crabapples.)
Prepare custard: In a large bowl, beat eggs together, then add milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
Put fruit in (partially) pre-baked pie shell. Spread evenly. Pour custard over fruit. There should be enough custard that the fruit floats, but not little fruit that pieces of fruit will float apart.
Bake an hour (or more), until custard is set.
Serve cool. Refrigerate for storage (this *is milk and eggs, after all.)

Meanwhile, puree the tofu in a food processor or chopper, until very smooth. Add lemon juice, 2 T sugar, 2 T whole wheat flour, and process until well blended. Line an 8" pie tin with oil, (here you can add a pie shell if you prefer, instead of...) and sprinkle to coat with a sugar and whole wheat flour mixture, about 2 t each. Spread the tofu mixture into the pie tin (or onto the crust). Bake at 400 F for a few minutes, (until crust is done, if using a crust). Remove and cool.
Check rhubarb mixture for sweetness (I use a minimum of sugar), and adjust to your preference. Pour into a fine (or cheesecloth lined) sieve, and drain off juices, do not squeeze dry. Save juices for some other use (perhaps for a jelly). Pour remaining rhubarb mixture over the baked lemon tofu. Refrigerate (or top with crust crumble and bake again until done). The texture of the fruit mixture does not jell, or thicken, when the smaller amount of sugar is used, but I like it the way it is. The lemon tofu is in sweet contrast to the more tart but still sweet rhubarb and fruit filling.

Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients:

2 pounds rhubarb
1/4 cup lemon juice (Mark substitutes 1 teaspoon cinnamon)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Minute instant tapioca (Mark substitutes 1/4 cup flour)
1/2 cup water (Mark omits the water)
2 boxes Pillsbury crust
one 10-inch Pyrex pie plate
foil for bottom of oven

Procedure:

I use two boxes of crust for a 10-inch pie plate. Never use smaller pie plates than 10 inches. A large pie plate affords long slices, which look so much more formidable and appetizing. Plus, you can always bring the extra slices to work if you panic when faced with eating the leftovers and subsequent extra time on the StairMaster.
One box of two small crusts really isn't enough to make a nice, thick crust that won't leak, nor does it allow you to have a substantial edge that won't burn. Also, when shopping for rhubarb, look for thick, juicy, red stalks. Beware of stalks that are bruised, cut, or dried-out at the ends.
Begin by slicing the rhubarb into inch-long pieces. Then, slice the rhubarb down the middle, along the grain of the stalk. This allows the rhubarb to release its flavor and absorb the sugar. Combine the rhubarb, lemon juice, sugar, and tapioca. Stir to coat the rhubarb, then allow it to marinate while you prepare the crust.
Turn on your oven to 400 degrees, to allow it time to preheat while you roll the crust and put the pie together. You want the oven to be fully preheated, otherwise the crust won't be as flaky. Also, cover the bottom of your oven with foil, to keep it clean in case the filling boils over.
Open a box of crusts, remove all the plastic, and place both crusts atop each other on a clean, floured board. Roll the crust to be 3 inches larger than your pie plate.
Place the bottom crust into the pie plate and pour-in the filling. Roll-out the top crust to the same size as the bottom crust. Brush the overhang of the bottom crust with a little water, then cover the pie with the top crust, pressing lightly to seal the edges.
Fold the crust over once, towards the center of the pie, then fold it once more. This thick edge doesn't need to be covered with foil to avoid burning. Use your thumb on one hand and thumb and index finger of the other hand to fully seal the crust and build-up a nice, pretty edge to the crust.
Cut several holes in the top of the crust. Don't be afraid to cut too many, as this will help release steam when the filling begins to boil. If you don't cut enough holes, pressure will build inside the crust and break open the edges, causing leaks and spills.
Just before you place the pie in the oven, pour in the half-cup of water. This makes for a juicy, wonderful filling. The tapioca will absorb the water and rhubarb juice to make a nice, gelatinous filling that contrasts with the texture of the rhubarb.
Bake the pie for 20 minutes, then lower the heat to 350 degrees. Continue to bake the pie for another 40 minutes, checking towards the end to see if the filling has begun to bubble in the center. Once the center begins to bubble and thicken, remove the pie from the oven.
Allow the pie to cool almost completely before serving. This lets the filling completely thicken and set, so it won't run all over the place when you slice and serve the pie. This pie is best served warm with scoop of vanilla ice cream, or cold with a glass of milk.

Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie

Ingredients:

3 Tbs Flour
1 1/4 Cups Sugar(see below)
3/4 tsp salt
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Egg (beaten)
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
3 Cups Rhubarb (cut in 1/2" cubes)

CRUMB TOPPING

1/3 cup sugar (I use 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup flour (I use 1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 Tbs cinnamon (I use more)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix everything but the rhubarb together, and then add the rhubarb at the end. Add filling to a 9" pie crust.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 25 minutes. Remove the pie, and sprinkle the crumb topping on top (see below for crumb topping recipe). Bakeat 350 for another 15 minutes or until the topping is brown.
Modifications to the pie to suite taste. I find that the pie tastes plenty sweet enough with 1/2 cup of sugar, and I use "fat-free sour cream substitute" instead of real sour cream. Also, I like to use a bigger pie crust, and then make up the difference by adding as much rhubarb as will fit into the crust.
For the topping, simply mix the ingredients together until crumbly.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pt Fresh strawberries; halved
2 c Sliced fresh rhubarb (2 to 3 medium stalks)
1 1/2 c Sugar
6 T Quick-cooking tapioca
Unbaked pastry for double-crust 9-inch pie
Milk as needed
Sugar as needed
Flour as needed

Procedure:

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 plate 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 plate.
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 F. 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.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients:

Pie crust

2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening
5 Tbsp cold water or milk (milk preferred)

Pie filling

1 cup sugar
6 Tbsp tapioca (tapioca starch preferred, but quick-cooking tapioca is ok too)
1 lb rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4-6 cups strawberries 

Procedure:

Cut the strawberries in half. Place in a bowl with the rhubarb and add the sugar and tapioca. Mix and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Make the pie crust: Cut the shortening and flour together. This can be done with two knives, with a pastry cutter, or with some electric mixers. (I do mine in a Kitchen-aid food processor/mixer.) When the mixture has an even consistency (it should resemble coarse sand), add in the milk (or water). Take about 5/8ths of the dough and roll out on a floured board until it is a little bit larger than a 10-inch pie pan. Put this in the pie pan. (The rest of the dough is for the top of the pie.)
Pour the strawberries and rhubarb mixture into the pie crust.
Roll out the remainder of the pie crust. Place on top of the pie, crimping the edges of the top and bottom crusts together. Make one or two slits in the top of the crust for steam to escape.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes at or until syrup boils with heavy bubbles that do not burst.
Strawberries and rhubarb are both seasonal fruits. Their season is late spring/early summer. You can use 3/4 cup sugar if you like it less sweet.
I recommend putting a piece of aluminum foil under the pie as it is cooking, because it invariably leaks. This will save you from having to clean up the oven.
