Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon.

2. 2

   On lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pastry and line a nine-inch pie plate.

3. 3

   Spoon in filling.

4. 4

   Roll out pastry for top crust; using pastry wheel or knife, cut into 1-inch wide strips.

5. 5

   Brush pastry rim with some of the beaten egg.

6. 6

   Gently weave strips over the pie to form lattice; trim and flute the edge.

7. 7

   Brush lattice with beaten egg. Sprinkle top with sugar if using.

8. 8

   Bake on a baking sheet with sides in a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes. Tip: If you do not have a cookie sheet handy, make a drip catcher out of foil paper, larger than the bottom of the pie plate, and place it under the pie plate and up the sides loosely.

9. 9

   Reduce heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 50 to 60 minutes longer or until rhubarb is tender, filling thickened, and the crust is golden.
