Nothing says Spring like Strawberry Rhubarb pie and this was a hit. I have always been afraid of pie crust but decided to face my fear recently and began making it. Today's lattice top was another 1st for me. It may not be pretty but gosh it was delicious and not overly sweet.

I used frozen fruit for this recipe and topped it with my apple crisp topping recipe. Amazing!

We loved it!! We used the topping from recipe 91390, added about 1/4 cup oatmeal to the topping and the orange zest ( as suggested) to the filling.

I made this recipe for Christmas day. It looked absolutely beautiful once made. But when everyone took a bite, it was wincing all around the table because it was so sour! I followed the recipe to a T. I had to use frozen strawberries and frozen rhubarb due to they aren't in season right now. I let both thaw completely before mixing with other ingredients. There was one person out of 8 of us who really liked it. He ended up taking a couple pieces home. Sad to say, the rest went in the garbage! :( I think the recipe just needed more sugar or something. Sorry for the review.

My mother asked me for a S-R pie recipe and I gave her this one. She says it's a keeper, simple and good (and gone). Thanks.
