Strawberry Rhubarb Pie + a Giveaway
As I flip the thin plastic pages of a dusty and tattered photo album, my eyes hopping from one old photo to the next, I find myself searching for memories or glimpses into these captured moments of yesteryear. I hesitate on a snapshot for a few seconds before giving up and moving to the next. I scan the photo for some magic image that will take me back but mostly I find nothing. But soon I catch myself chuckling; the only memories I conjure up are of the stories my mom has shared with me time and time again. Each photo holds a story – too young for me to remember – but at a time when my mother seemed to assign every infantile moment, no matter how mundane or typical, a story and importance.
Books and books go by before I begin to wonder, did my mom keep a camera with her twenty-four seven? I hurry past the pages of a nude baby version of me frolicking about – was I that uninhibited or did my parents not know when to put the camera down? I notice a plethora of costumes per year – clearly I was being dressed up on more than just Halloween. I even think about the small moments taking place behind the camera; more than 50 shots of a birthday means at more than one hurried moment, my mother had to wind up a spent roll of film, take it out, load another roll of film, and prepare the camera in time to catch another goofy baby smile; she had to have spent a fortune on film and developing; she must have bored a photo technician to death every time she dropped off a few dozen rolls of me sitting in a high chair with chocolate cake smeared across my face.
But mostly I see my mother’s smile in every shot. The true love of a mother, someone who has decided to dedicate their life to me, shines through image after image. Never a moment of concern – except the one time I stood on the railing at the Grand Canyon – or sorrow apparent in a single photo. I see a young lady new to the world of parenting, loving every single second of it.
How do you say thank you for this sincere gift of life? What can I ever do to repay such an awesome bestowal? I say, “I love you,” as much as I can. I let hugs linger and find any excuse to slip a, “thank you,” into the conversation. Sometimes I argue – when I think I know best. And on occasion I say things I regret. But as hard as it is I apologize and remind myself I have a lot to learn, especially from my own mom.
To this day, when my mother stares into my eyes, a mirror image of her own hazel eyes, I know she still sees her infant son. A quarter of a century may have passed since my birth but I will always be her baby and she will always be the first person I turn to in a time of need or a moment of celebration. And while she may not know it, every time I say, “thank you for the present,” or “thank you for handing me a plate,” I am saying “thank you for giving me life, for showing me how to live, and reminding me that I will never be alone.” For she is my mother, the most important person in the world, and the person to whom I dedicate nearly every act and accomplishment that have made my life mine.
Strawberry & Rhubarb Meringue Pie
This pie is adapted from a Bo Friberg recipe.
Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 1, 10″ pie
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 55-75 minutesTools:
10″ Pie Dish
Large Bowl
Wooden Spoon
Kitchen torch (optional)Ingredients:
1 recipe pie dough
1 recipe italian meringue or french meringue1lb 4 ounces Rhubarb, chopped
1 lb Strawberries, cut into fourths
3 ounces cornstarch
5 ounces turbinado sugar
4 ounces honeyInstructions:
1. Prepare the pie dough and meringues according to their instructions. Set aside.
2. Preheat an oven to 400°F. Line the pie dish with the rolled out pie dough. Set aside.
3. Mix the chopped rhubarb and strawberries, cornstarch, sugar and honey in a bowl until everything is evenly coated.
4. Pour the strawberry and rhubarb mixture into the prepared pie dish.
5. Bake the pie for 55 to 65 minutes or until the mixture is set. If the crust begins to brown too soon, cover the visible crust with foil and continue to bake.
6. Allow the pie to cool. Prepare the meringue while the pie is cooling.
7.a. Italian Meringue Steps: Spread or pipe the meringue on top of the cooled pie. Using a kitchen torch, brown the outside of the meringue until golden tan and just barely brown in places.
7.b. French Meringue Steps: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Spread the meringue on top of the cooled pie. Place the meringue-topped pie back in the oven for another 8 to 12 minutes, until the meringue is browned evenly (you may need to rotate the pie half way through baking).
8. Serve immediately after step 7.a or 7.b is completed.
If you don’t want a meringue topping, you can easily double the pie recipe and add a layer of dough on top of the pie before baking. If you choose to prepare it that way, you can use the pie bird (place it in the center of the pie on the bottom layer of crust before adding the filling; add the filling around it then the top piece of crust piercing a hole so the pie bird sticks out through the center – you want the dough to rest on the bird’s shoulders) to help remove steam from the pie so the crust will remain flaky and not soggy.
Now onto the exciting part!
I was given a Le Creuset Baker’s Set to test before the giveaway and I must admit I love it! This is my fifth pie dish but my first pie bird (and the first good oven mitt and trivet I’ve owned too). The pie dish is not only pretty (red is my favorite color in the kitchen) but large, making it perfect for big, family-sized pies. The oven mitt is heavy duty – it beats folding up a few thin cloth napkins to grab something from the oven – and looks good too. The pie bird is not only cute – beware cat owners, your cats may trot off with this thinking it is their toy – but wonderfully functional. And who doesn’t want another trivet for their kitchen -when I’m not using it under pie I put it under my chemex coffee maker to keep it from scorching my counter tops.
Le Creuset Giveaway
To celebrate mother’s day, Le Creuset has been kind enough to give one lucky reader a Baker’s Set, which includes a 10″ pie dish, pie bird, oven mitt and trivet (all in a gorgeous cherry red). How cool is that?!

Aww. I’d love to join the giveaway. too bad! I don’t think we have rhubarb here, I’ve been seeing a lot of recipe of it and now I wonder what it tastes like. hmmm..
fabulous as always and great giveaway
I always feel sooooo sorry for people who have never had strawberry/rhubarb pie. It’s a classic and winning combination, especially served with good memories . . .
My favorite is wild blueberry pie, followed by strawberry rhubarb.
What a beautiful post you have shared. I truly enjoyed reading it and how your words create sweet images in my mind. Your pics are stunning and have now mad me hungry for some pie!
What a sweet giveaway and the pie bird is an added bonus!
If I had to choose one pie to eat…it would be my own Triple Berry Pie with Strawberries, Raspberries & Blueberries. One pie I make, but don’t eat is..Lemon Meringue Pie. *It’s my challenge pie and it has only whipped me failing twice so far!

My favorite pie depends on the time of year – right now, it has to be strawberry rhubarb. In the summer I love the bright taste of citrus – lemon meringue or key lime it is! In the winter, once I’m past pumpkin pie season (aka Thanksgiving) I start thinking about chocolate and pecans.
Isn’t “favorite pie” an oxymoron or something? I LOVE strawberry-rhubarb and this recipe looks divine, thank you. Also love key lime, lemon meringue… peach, cherry, blueberry… HELP!

Wow, what an amazing tribute to your mother. It just about choked me up, even more so because you realize what it took for her to make sure your life was recorded properly all these years.
Don’t worry about me with regard to the giveaway. I don’t want to go register on the site. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love for your mom with us and for this spectacular recipe. It looks delicious.
favorite pie is sour cherry
do not have a facebook account, nor twitter nor pininterst (don’t even know what that is) – can i get an extra entry because i’m a follower by email?
Mmmm, Strawberry Rhubarb is fave of mine. I always order it with my friends at our local pie shop. I’ve never tried it with meringue. Love it with a lattice top and sugar sprinkled and baked on top. Amazing!
Filled out the entry form and also following u on Facebook and twitter. BTW pie looks delicious :)

My favorite pie is pecan pie.
I do a strawberry rhubarb kuchen every season and it’s something I always look forward to. But that meringue topping is just the thing that will take it over the top.
There’s nothing better than a new pie dish… I have a feeling if I won, my mom would probably give it back to me. She’s a good mom. If that was the case, I’d have to whip up a coconut cream pie. It’s not something I’ve made before, but it’s on my list. So, yes, that’s what I’d make.
Can’t go wrong with a classic apple though (with some brown butter, of course).

I love your article and love of your Mom, it was beautiful. I’m not kidding you when I say your pie is my favorite. I love me some Strawberry and Rhubarb Pie. It’s so hard to find, so I just make it myself. /Your recipe has turned out to be my favorite, without the top crust, just like you made it with the meringue.

MY favourite pie is lemon meringue.
But my rhubarb should be up in a couple of weeks and I am going to try this recipe.

Thanks
My favorite pie is pear-vanilla bean.
Your pie is so beautiful!
What a great post for your mom!!! You definitely show your love for an obviously wonderful woman! I was drawn to this post because my favorite pie is rhubarb, but in order to get my husband to eat it, I have to add strawberries which is almost as good. :) I’ve never had a strawberry-rhubarb meringue pie, but it looks delicious.

Oh, and my favourite pie? Um… I’m a fan of rhubarb although I haven’t had one in years… time to get cooking!
I have to pick a favorite pie? Well then I guess pecan pie is my favorite.
