Step 1

Preheat oven to 190°C. Using a rolling pin, roll out both pie crusts to about 16" across.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, zest, and salt until mixture begins to look juicy. Place one crust into a pie dish and pour in fruit mixture. Dot with pieces of butter. N.b. I forgot the butter, It didn't affect the finish. I did NOT pour in the liquid generated by the fruit, thus resulting in good, crispy pastry base.

Step 3

With the other sheet of pie dough, make a lattice top. First, cut the dough into ¾” strips. Then, weave strips over and under each other in a criss-cross formation. Using kitchen shears, trim the top and bottom crust so there’s a 1” overhang, then fold under and crimp edges together. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 4

Bake until pie is golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. If crust is browning too fast, cover with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Let pie cool slightly, then serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
