A Simple Pie with Sweet Rewards
This isn’t your typical fruit pie. What makes this one special is the custard. It wraps around the fruit, softening the tartness of the rhubarb and balancing out the sweetness of the berries. The result is a creamy filling that’s just the right texture—not too dense, not too runny—with juicy pops of fruit in every bite.
Serve it chilled from the fridge for a refreshing finish, or slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes—frozen strawberries or rhubarb can be used. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well first to prevent a watery filling.
Does the pie crust need to be pre-baked?
No pre-baking is needed. Use an unbaked crust, and it will bake perfectly along with the filling.
How will I know when it’s done?
The pie is ready when the center no longer jiggles and the top turns lightly golden. It usually takes around 60 minutes.
Is the jam glaze necessary?
Not at all. It adds a glossy finish and a little extra flavor, but the pie is just as delicious without it.
