This will probably be the last rhubarb recipe of the year – the season is officially over for us here. Can you see the tears running down my face? Probably not, since you’re all staring at the screen of a phone or computer. But the tears are there! Well, at least a little one in the corner of my eye. Of course, that shouldn’t bother you too much. Instead, take a look at this delicious Strawberry & Rhubarb Pie! It’s a real beauty, isn’t it?!

That’s it for rhubarb. At least temporarily. Another year of waiting for those red and green rhubarb stalks. You out there are probably quite happy about that. After all, this also means no more posts about rhubarb from me here or on social media. I imagine some of you were already pretty annoyed, since there was hardly any other topic these past few weeks. Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarbbarbera. :P
Well. You’ll have to bear with me for one more. This delicious pie is made with strawberries and rhubarb. A truly wonderful combination, as you can probably imagine. Sweet, but also a little tart, and then all combined with a delicious, flaky, and crispy pie crust. An absolute dream! We love pies – whether with rhubarb, strawberries, or other fruits.

I’ve been making these kinds of pies more often lately because they’re just so delicious – as I said, regardless of what the filling is. The crust for this type of pie is straightforward to make, and the result is always fantastic! So, I might be posting a few more pie recipes here soon… that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?
By the way, I’ve frozen some rhubarb for emergencies… it’s not supposed to be used for new recipes on the blog, but who knows?! If something really delicious comes out of it, I’ll definitely share it with you. Sharing is caring. Even if it’s just recipes and you can’t taste the results right away. Sorry.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the crust:
3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour*
1/4 cup (50g) sugar (fine)*
1 tsp. salt
1 1/8 cup (260g) cold butter
1/3 cup (70g) cold shortening*
up to 1/2 cup (120ml) ice water
For the filling:
14 oz. (400g) strawberries
14 oz. (400g) rhubarb
1/2 cup (50g) brown sugar*
1/2 cup (50g) sugar (fine)*
1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch*
1 tsp. ground cinnamon*
1/4 tsp. salt
For the eggwash:
1 medium egg yolk
1 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. brown sugar*
Für den Teig:
390g Mehl (Type 405)*
50g Zucker (fein)*
1 TL Salz
260g kalte Butter
70g kaltes Pflanzenfett (Kokosfett*)
bis zu 120ml Eiswasser
Für die Füllung:
400g Erdbeeren
400g Rhabarber
50g brauner Zucker*
50g Zucker (fein)*
30g Speisestärke*
1 TL Zimt*
1/4 TL Salz
Für die Glasur:
1 Eigelb (M)
1 TL Wasser
1/2 TL brauner Zucker*


DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Cut the butter and shortening into small pieces – both should be quite cold. Add flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix it. Add the diced butter and shortening and toss it in the flour to cover every piece of the fat with the flour mix. Cut the butter and shortening into very small pieces by using a pastry blender* (if you have a food processor that can mix, use that one). Gradually add the ice water and mix it in. The dough is fine as soon as the crumbs start sticking together when you squeeze them between your fingers. If everything is still crumbling, you should add some more ice water. Form two equal-sized dough balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least one hour (you can also do that a day in advance).
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Wash the strawberries and rhubarb and let them drain. Cut the strawberries into (not too) small pieces. Peel the rhubarb and also cut it into small pieces. Add everything to a bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt, add it to the bowl and toss the fruits in the mixture until evenly covered.
3. Roll out one of the dough balls into a circle that is slightly larger than a pie dish (23cm)*. The dough should overlap about an inch (2,5cm). Transfer the fruit mix to the pie dish and press it down a bit. Roll out the second dough ball and cut it into strips. Place those strips in a lattice pattern on top of the filling. Cut off longer dough strips along the sides (if necessary) and flip the overlapping dough from the base over the dough strips from the lattice top. Press the dough together along the edges and create a nice pattern – for example with a fork.
4. Mix the egg yolk with some water, brush the dough with it, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake the pie for about 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature of the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pie for another 60-75 minutes. You want a nice golden brown color (if it gets dark early, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking). Take the pie out of the oven and let it cool down completely on a cooling rack.
1. Die Butter und das Pflanzenfett in kleine Stücke schneiden – beides sollte recht kalt sein. Mehl, Zucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und vermischen. Das klein geschnittene Fett dazugeben und darin wälzen, bis alles mit Mehl bedeckt ist. Das Fett mit einem Teigmischer* in sehr kleine Stücke hacken und dabei mit dem Mehl vermischen (wer eine Küchenmaschine mit Mixer hat, kann das auch darin machen). Das Eiswasser nach und nach zugeben, untermischen und alles verkneten. Der Teig ist gut, sobald alles anfängt zusammenzukleben, wenn man die Mischung mit der Hand zusammendrückt. Bröselt alles noch stark, sollte man noch etwas mehr Eiswasser zugeben. Den Teig in zwei Portionen teilen und jeweils in Plastikfolie einwickeln und für mindestens 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen. Man kann den Teig auch einen Tag eher vorbereiten.
2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Erdbeeren und Rhabarber waschen und abtropfen lassen. Die Erdbeeren in (nicht zu kleine) Stücke schneiden. Den Rhabarber schälen und ebenfalls in kleine Stücke schneiden. Beides in eine Schüssel geben. Zucker, Stärke, Zimt und Salz vermischen und dann zu den Früchten geben und alles gut vermengen.
3. Eine der Teigportionen zu einem Kreis ausrollen, der etwas größer als eine 23cm Pieform* ist – der Teig sollte hier etwa 2,5cm überlappen. Die Früchte in die Form schütten, gleichmäßig verteilen und etwas zusammendrücken. Die zweite Teigportion ebenfalls ausrollen und dann in Streifen schneiden. Die Streifen auf die Füllung legen und ein Gittermuster formen. Was am Rand zu viel ist, ggf. abschneiden. Den überlappenden Teig vom Boden über den Rand des Gittermusters einschlagen und festdrücken. Wer mag, kann hier z.B. mit einer Gabel noch ein Muster in den Rand drücken.
4. Eigelb mit dem Wasser verrühren und den Teig damit bestreichen. Alles mit etwas braunem Zucker bestreuen und dann für etwa 20 Minuten im vorgeheizten Ofen backen. Als Nächstes die Hitzezufuhr auf 180°C (350°F) reduzieren und den Pie weitere 60-75 Minuten backen. Die Oberfläche sollte goldbraun aussehen (sollte der Pie frühzeitig dunkel werden, mit Aluminiumfolie abdecken und weiterbacken). Den Pie aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

YUM. Cut me a slice now! This pie looks so wickedly delicious and makes such perfect use of seasonal produce.
there is nothing better than a slice of rhubarb cake when it is in season! :)
Die Füllung sieht einfach nur zum daniederknien aus! So etwas in der Art muss ich auch mal versuchen.
Klasse gemacht!

Danke Jens! Bei Erdbeeren und Rhabarber kann man aber auch ehrlich gesagt nicht viel falsch machen – das wird immer gut ;)

I feel your pain, Marc. And I see your tears as well. Unfortunately, I screwed this season having used rhubarb only twice, in yogurt. But at least thanks to your lovely recipes I’ve been kind of participating in that! And here we go. Another amazing pie. Perfect farewell to a rhubarb season!
Hi Ben ;)
I already got over it with some wine and strawberries – works every time :P
You can still use frozen one to feel the joy..
Cheers,
Marc
