So good!! I thought 6 cups total of fruit sounded like a lot, but it was just the right amount. For uniform cooking I cut the rhubarb close to the same size of the blueberries. (Cut each stalk down the middle, the long way, and then cut each stalk the thickness of the blueberry.) . I doubled the lemon and added a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, not sure the cinnamon mattered, but I really like the extra lemon. I loved that the pie wasn't overly sweet. I will definitely make this pie again! Thank you for posting! MERP'd for SWT2019, Sue Chefs, Benelux

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
