Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

It's a big day, folks. I made my first pie EVER. We had picked up some rhubarb on our way back from Ohio, and the only thing I know how to make with rhubarb is pie.

Making the dough
I used a combination of dough and pie filling recipes. I didn't have any shortening, so went for a pie dough recipe that used butter. I'm sure it's horrible for you -- but it was delicious and easy to make, following the directions.




I used a strawberry and rhubarb filling, using the recipe I found here
 


The dough worked great -- and like the pie recipe said, it only took about an hour to cook in the oven. The filling was a little watery, but I also cut pieces when it was still warm because I couldn't wait any longer!

Looking forward to some dessert leftovers tonight!!
