2 c Rhubarb — diced
1 pt Strawberries
1 1/4 c Sugar
3 tb Tapioca — quick-cooking
1/4 ts Salt
3 tb Margarine
1 Batch
Double pie crust
Pie dough, enough for 9″
Wash rhubarb, cut away any tough parts and chop into small pieces. Slice
the strawberries and add to rhubarb. Mix the remaining ingredients and add
to fruit. Blend well and allow to stand for up to 30 minutes to allow sugar
to penetrate strawberries. Pour mixture into 9-inch pie crust, dot with
margarine and cover with second crust. Cut slits in top crust. Bake in
preheated 375-degree oven for 50-55 minutes. Cover pie with aluminum foil
tented over it during first 30 minutes, removing to allow crust to brown
during the last part of baking. About 10 minutes before done, brush on warm
milk and sprinkle top crust lightly with sugar if desired.
