Beap52 2,140 #4 Posted Friday at 11:31 PM (edited) 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.)

Sparky-(Admin) 24,941 #5 Posted 2 hours ago Our first Rhubard plant…seems to be taking off well. My mom had a huge one and just wanted a small one so I split it into 4 sections and this one was the section I took/planted. Couple of her friends took sections as well. The lady that lived next door gave my mom a small plant when her and my dad moved in back in ‘71. Super hardy!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
