I grow tons of rhubarb every year. I rinse, trim, and cut it into smaller pieces and freeze to use later. This recipe is so easy you can pull it together for a weeknight dinner. Bonus: it freezes well too!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, rinsed, trimmed, and cut into half-inch pieces
  • 16-ounce can pitted tart red cherries, drained, or cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
  • 2 9-inch pie crusts, store-bought or homemade (See my Perfect Pie Crust recipe.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; let stand for 15 minutes.
  3. Line a 9-inch pie plate with crust. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond rim of plate. Add filling.
  4. Top with a lattice or other decorative crust. Trim and seal strips to edge of bottom crust; flute edge.
  5. Bake until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 40-50 minutes.

Notes

Rhubarb-Lemon Simple Syrup is easy to make. It can be mixed with seltzer water for a delicious and refreshing alcohol free beverage. You can also make a delicious Rhubarb Lemon Martini.
