I still cannot make a pretty pie. The filling is a mixture of strawberry jam (which I made), rhubarb sauce (which I made), local maple syrup and arrow root powder added as a thickner. The flour is also local - a wheat pastry flour that was a pain in the neck to use. I finally gave up and made a patchy pie as I couldn’t roll out the dough without it falling apart.
I bet it tastes awesome, though!

yum! I just bought rhubarb at the farmers market - first time anyone has had it here and am ready to bake up some pie!

Ah, can’t wait for rhubarb! Tasty stuff I tried for the first time last year.

By golly it takes guts to show us a picture. Good for you! If you try again maybe criss-cross strips would work instead of a solid top effort.
