"This is my first time to rate a recipe and this one definitely deserves 5 stars all the way," says community member Rose. "The ginger really adds great flavor so don't skip it. I will definitely make this again and again! The only advice is to make sure you put the baking sheet underneath while the pie is baking. I put tin foil over a sheet and drippings still overflowed into the bottom of my oven... The pie was so good that the mess was worth it!"

This strawberry rhubarb pie is leveled up both inside and out—cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans give the filling a little more complexity and consistency, while the buttery crumb topping complements the sweet-tart strawberry and rhubarb mixture. It's just begging for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The recipe yields a lot of topping, so you may want to scale down a bit.

Community member Dave Boldt shares a top tip for making this strawberry rhubarb pie: "Wonderful recipe. Great tastes all combine wonderfully. Just be careful when baking as mine was quite juicy and ran out. Luckily I had a pan underneath and caught all spillage. Once cool, it had a wonderful consistency. Have now made this pie a couple more times, and have fixed the extra juice problem by not adding all the juice from the mixture when putting it in the pie shell, and also by sprinkling a bit of tapioca into the bottom of the shell."

Summer Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

This strawberry rhubarb pie comes together quickly and has just the right degree of sweetness. To boost the filling's flavor, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, butter, sugar, flour, and nutmeg in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens; then, let it cool completely before pouring into the pie crust.

Strawberry rhubarb pie meets cream pie in this easy recipe. Making and working with a custard instead of just eggs and milk gives this pie a thick texture that really works with the sweet and sour notes present in the strawberries and rhubarb. Keep some extra crust on hand, because this recipe yields a lot of filling.

Maman's Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

If it's too warm to use the oven, try this no-bake strawberry pie and keep your kitchen cool. Here, you'll make a simple graham cracker crust and line it with strawberry slices, cook the filling on the stovetop, and let everything chill for an hour after you add the filling. You could also use a pre-baked crust if you're set on including pastry.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

This easy pie has a great filling, but the crust is really what makes it special. Creator Deb Lacey got the flaky, mistake-proof crust from her grandmother. You might just want to keep it in your back pocket and use it for all your pies.

If you want to add even more flavor to your strawberry rhubarb pie, we recommend trying this recipe and incorporating fresh orange juice and rinds into the filling. This will give your pie a little something else without overpowering the filling's flavor. "I was skeptical about what exactly the orange would add to this pie, but it was very, very good and an interesting twist on a classic," says community member Holly.

Rhubarb and Strawberry Pie

The trick to this pie's flavor is letting the rhubarb "marinate" in sugar to bring out its flavor. Give the pie enough time to sit so the filling can settle; the juice will thicken overnight, so this is best prepared a day in advance.
