Recipe For Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Using Frozen Fruit
Introduction
When you think of summer, what comes to mind? For many, it’s the sweet and tangy taste of strawberry rhubarb pie. While this dessert is typically made with fresh fruit, using frozen fruit can be just as delicious. In this article, we’ll share our recipe for an easy and delicious strawberry rhubarb pie using frozen fruit.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 cups frozen sliced strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups frozen rhubarb
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 double pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the frozen strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Roll out your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the crust.
- Dot the top of the fruit mixture with small pieces of butter.
- Roll out your second pie crust and place it on top of the fruit mixture. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for an additional 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
