Be-Bop-A-Do-Wop Rhubarb Pie

When Barbara Maggs of Cle Elum, Wash., was growing up in rural Massachusetts, her family had a large patch of rhubarb, and her mother tried a lot of recipes to tempt the family into eating it. This pie was their favorite. Even those who say “I don’t like rhubarb” like this pie, according to Barbara.

The flavor of this pie is delicious, HOWEVER, I tried twice -- extremely runny both times! I increased the flour with the rhubarb and still no success. How embarrassing when serving guests!!

Bummer. We're sorry. Fruit pies can be wierd sometimes, as some fruit is higher in water than others. This is the second complaint we've gotten on this, so we'll give it another whirl and let you know. Thanks for letting us know. Glad you liked the flavor.
