The First Harvest of the Year

The first harvest of the year is upon us here in Ontario.  Rhubarb is a very hardy plant that just keeps giving all summer long without fail.  Since it was a holiday this past weekend here, we had my parents over for a family dinner.  My dad loves rhubarb pie and asked if I could make him one, well of course I said yes!

So I started gathering stalks of rhubarb from the patch.

Just in case you don't know, don't eat the leaves, they are poisonous!

This is the recipe I use:
               4 cups of rhubarb ~ chopped and put in bottom of pie

In a bowl ~ beat 2 eggs
                    1 tbsp milk
                    1/3 cup flour
                    1 1/2 cup sugar

Mix in the bowl and then pour it over the rhubarb.  Dot with butter. 

Cover it up with your other pie shell and bake it at 425 F for approximately 40 -45 minutes.

Simple and easy.  Everyone really seemed to enjoy it and since my pie crust recipe makes 4 shells dad got to take one home with him.
