Pie time!

I heard that this week's distrubution from farmthisway will include rhubarb and strawberries...This combination leads most people to think of one thing.  PIE.  Now, I bake a lot.  For my own family and friends, and for others as well.  One thing I have never made is Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I am not sure why that is.  Mostly I think, I just never really had rhubarb around and never thought, hey, this perfectly good strawberry pie needs some vegetables thrown in it. 

I look forward to trying something new this week though.  So, I will attempt my first ever Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.  I will have to follow up with how it turns out.  Usually, if I am unsure of how to make something, I always check with Alton Brown.  Well, with his recipes on foodnetwork.com anyhow, I don't have his direct line, though there are many occasions when that would come in very handy.  But, I searched and didn't come up with a single Alton Brown recipe for the fruit and veggie pie, so i went to my back up.  Emeril.  This is what I found Emeril's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Almond Crumb topping.  I am not going to be scared off by the "Difficult" rating.  And I love pie with a crumb top.  So, stay tuned and I will let you know if I pull it off!
