This pie is fairly sweet but is also quite tangy since rhubarb is its main ingredient. It is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Forming and cooking the pie

Place pie on lowest rack in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Notes, tips and variations
- If cornstarch is used as the thickener, the pie requires a longer cooling time before the filling is gelled.
- Another variation is to use a whole egg in the mix.
- This cookbook also has a recipe for strawberry rhubarb pie.
