Fresh Rhubarb Pie

This rhubarb pie recipe is from my mom. She used to grow rhubarb in her backyard, and when her rhubarb was ripe, what great pies she made!

Ingredients

• 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie
• 4 cups chopped rhubarb
• 1 tablespoon butter

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place an oven rack in the lowest position.
2. Combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 of it over bottom crust in a pie dish. Heap rhubarb on top and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Dot with butter and cover with top crust.
3. Bake pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
4. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
