First Harvest

[Ed Kennell 45,603]

I planted this Rhubarb two years ago.    I thought it froze out with the cold temps this winter.

 

 

 

No strawberries yet but I have plenty of frozen blackberries from last year.

 

So my first attempt at a blackberry / rhubarb pie.

Rhubarb custard is, imho, the Queen of Pies!  Mine is not quite ready to harvest just yet. Spinach, garlic scallions and asparagus aplenty though..

That rhubarb and blackberry pie looks like a keeper.   I have never heard of rhubarb custard.  Might be something to look into.

 

Many moons ago our church had a men's bake off.  Whereas most of the men baked cakes, but I made a fresh pumpkin pie. (Canned pumpkin is too purified- no texture.)  Some folks asked me, a carpenter, about making the pie.   I replied "I figure if I could build a house, I could certainly build a pie." 

 

Couple of weeks ago I made the pie pictured below.  It's a custard type pie, super easy to make and you don't even need a crust as it kind of makes it's own crust.  I threw in coconut and cut back on the sugar.  For me, it was one of those pies that every time you pass through the kitchen, you've got to keep a fork in the pie dish and take at least two bites.  Wife wasn't willing to take a bite so it was all mine.  

 

(I hope I'm not breaking some law by posting the original picture and recipe that I found on the internet somewhere.)
