This recipe was given to me by one of my old teachers (4th grade) when I got married.  The woman could cook – and she made wonderful pies!  She is gone now, but I have her recipe, written in her hand…what a special gift!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

3 cups (1/2 inch pieces) rhubarb

1 cup sliced strawberries

Pastry for 2 crust 9-inch pie

1 tablespoon butter

Combine sugar, flour, salt, and nutmeg.  Add fruit, mixing well; let stand 20 minutes.  Spoon into 9-inch pastry-lined pie plate.  Dot with butter.  Moisten edge; adjust top crust, flute edge.

Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) about 40 to 45 minutes or till done.  Serve slightly warm.

I hope you like this pie.
