Thread: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

When we went to visit our son over Memorial Day, DW took him a couple of pieces of his favorite Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I remember that pie from my non-l/c days and it was good. I looked at her recipe and decided to try to make a l/c version. Here is the recipe for a 9"double crusted pie.

Crust:
1 and 1/2 recipes of my Flakey Pie Crust recipe. Flakey Pie Crust

It took a little more water to get the dough to come together, but that was no problem. I divided the dough in half and rolled out the dough between wax paper to fit the 9" pie pan.

Filling:
3 cups diced rhubarb
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup erythritol
1/4 cup Diabetisweet
1 Tbls Thick-n Thin not starch
zest of 1 orange
2 Tbls butter
Combine rhubarb and strawberries in a mixing bowl. In another bowl mix the remaining ingredients, except the butter, and then pour over the fruit, toss to coat and combine. Pour the filling into the prepared pie pan, cut the butter into small pieces and spread over the top of the filling. Brush the top of the crust with cream, add the second crust, seal the edges, cut a couple of vent holes in the center, brush the top with a little cream and sprinkle a little erythritol on top. Put an aluminium foil collar around the edge of the pie and bake in a 425 degree preheated oven for 50 minutes. (I would put the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any juices that might escape.) Cool completely before serving. (The next time I make this, I will add an additional 1 tsp of Thick-n-Thin.)

oh YUM-O, Henry!
Do you have the nutritional counts on the pie?

Thanks!

I love rhubarb pie, and this sounds luscious. Thanks for the recipe, Henry.

Years ago my aunt made a lemon rhubarb pie, with the filling like a lemon meringue pie with cooked rhubarb in it. Oh, my, it was heavenly! So, guess I gotta try a lc version of that, if I can find rhubarb around here. It's not readily available in Texas.

Shelley, I don't have the complete nutritional breakdown on this pie. The net carb count for the whole pie is approximately 77.5 net carbs, 28.5 of which comes from the double crust.
