Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

You’re family ought to love the pie! What fun with Munchkin, hunting Easter eggs! Holidays are made better by children.

Strawberry rhubarb pie was grandpa's favorite pie. He passed when I was young after a battle with a Parkinson's variation. Most of my memories are of him sitting in his recliner. My brother and cousins actually got to know him before he wasn't himself anymore. No one ever brings rhubarb pie because no one grows rhubarb, and not many stores carry the pie. Going to see if my aunt has a recipe from my grandma to try instead of this internet recipe.

LOVE Strawberry Rhubarb pie!! I've never had one (even when Grandma made it) that gelled or set up - it was always a little runny. DROOL!!!!

Strawberry rhubarb pie sounds like a family treasure that had fallen by the wayside and you are bringing it back!

Could be because of the fresh strawberries in it. How about using SureJel and making thickened strawberry-rhubarb filling to put in a baked crust. Maybe over custard?

I ADORE stewed rhubarb. My neighbor below gave me a piece of her plant. Its just poking up now in its pot.

That is how I eat rhubarb, like applesauce

It didn't turn out very runny at all, after I followed the instructions to only add the filling chunks and not all the juice. It was ok, but very tart. My aunt said to add more sugar next time. I'll try again later this summer.

Finally started some seeds after much badgering from husband. Several types of tomatoes and peppers. Only got part of the peppers done, need to do the rest tomorrow, just too tired tonight. Posting this so I have a reference for when they should be germinating, in 7-10 days.

So I started the seeds on Friday?? Tomatoes are sprouting already!! Going to have lots of cherry tomatoes apparently. I put 2-3 seeds per cell as some of the packets were old.
