4 cups rhubarb, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups strawberries, washed and cut up
5 tablespoons dry tapioca
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon lemon juice
5 teaspoons butter
1 pie crust (I use Pillsbury ready-made)

Combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and tapioca in large bowl.
Let mixture sit for 20 minutes at room temperature to dissolve sugar and tapioca.
Stir every few minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 and put pie crust in pie tin.
After sitting time, add nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon juice to mixture.
Stir well and put into crust, draining excess liquid.
Dot top of mixture with pats of butter then place crust on top and seal edges.
Place a cookie sheet under pie to catch drips.
Bake at 450 for 30 minutes, then 425 for another 30 minutes, then 350 for 15 minutes or until
done.
You might have to cover edges of crust with foil or a pie guard to prevent crust from burning- Will​
thicken as it cools.

Awesome stuff !
I usually get my pies at the Amish Market, 'cause I ain't that great a baker; and that's the only place I can find 'em WITHOUT the strawberries.........

I think this recipe is very close to what my mother made and it was delicious. Sometimes she would just make the rhubarb strawberry mixture and we would have that served cold for dessert. It was just a little on the Tart side but absolutely delicious. I'm going to try this recipe soon. It looks like it would be really good.I'm going to have to look in my mother's recipes to see if she had hers written down, I have no idea if she wrote it down or not but I do have a lot of her recipes.
