Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

    

If you can get your hands on some rhubarb, you might enjoy the following recipe.  I cut up my rhubarb and freeze it in plastic bags until I am ready to use it. The quantities listed for flour and sugar are approximate and may have to be adjusted for your tolerance of tartness and the juiciness of your fruit.
