Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie

Submitted by Leslie

"This was my Grandmothers recipe, we all love it! You can adjust the sweetness by the amount of strawberries you add. You will need 3 cups of fruit in total, but if you want a more tart pie, use more rhubarb than strawberries. I have posted this with exactly 1/2 and 1/2."

I also skipped out on the crust and added 1/4 cup oatmeal to the topping. My boyfriend said it is one the best desserts I've ever made! He made me promise to make more immediately :)<br/>I used palm sugar instead of sugar, as I have blood sugar sensitivities. Followed the recipe exactly outside of that.

This was very tasty, though we did find it somewhat overly sweet. Next time I will cut back on the sugar. I made it more as a crisp/custard dessert rather than pie. I skipped the bottom pie crust and added 1/4 cup of oatmeal to the topping. I also used frozen strawberries, so my filling was a bit runny. Use a bit more flour or some cornstarch if using frozen berries.

Wow!! I made this exactly as the recipe instructed and it was absolutely delicious! I had never made (or eaten) anything with rhubarb, so I decided to try it. Well, I will definitely be making this again, many times!
