Last week-end we were at our cabin up north and I found a large rhubarb patch. That reminded me of the delicious rhubarb pies that my grandma used to make when I was younger. We would bring her grocery bags full of rhubarb and she would turn them into delicious blueberry-rhubarb, raspberry-rhubarb and especially strawberry-rhubarb pies! The slightly tart flavor of the rhubarb blends wonderfully with the sweet berries and produces a flavor-filled dessert that is worth sharing! The only thing that makes these pies better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which is exactly what we added to the Strawberry Rhubarb pie we received from Vermont Trade Winds. While it wasn’t the same taste I remember from grandma’s kitchen many years ago, the pie was still juicy, tasty and delicious! Tubby’s Homemade Fruit Pies still had the rich melting of flavors but the berry flavor was a bit stronger than the rhubarb flavor. I could still find the tart addition of rhubarb, but I almost wish it would have been a little more pronounced. In any case, the pie was a great throwback to younger days and I will certainly order it again! We received 8 – 3 1/2″ pies for $48.95 plus only $6.95 for 2nd day air shipping.
