This time I ventured into unknown country with substituting 1/2 cup of tapioca for the required 1/2 cup flour. Folding the fruits together it seemed very wet, but disregarded that voice that shouted " drain the filling " or some other last ditch saving of the filing. The pie looked perfect on the outside and serving it later to my willing test subjects it all got eaten, but I was dismayed that it turned out to be " Pie Soup". I'm going to listen to that voice today when I make a second " Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie" wish me, luck.

I've never used canned before; it might work (check to see if it's sweetened, of course, and adjust the sugar way down if it is) but of course it doesn't sound like much of a draw at the price.

I saw great fresh (cheap) rhubarb in the market and then I saw the expensive canned, cooked stuff. What do I do? Thank you in advance!

It was a bit runny but I really don't care! Amazing with vanilla ice cream. I will keep at this recipe until I get it just right. Beautiful pictures! Just made this and it was fantastic.

We don't have rhubarb much around these parts (West TN) - even frozen - but I was lucky to find some at our local Piggly Wiggly a couple of days ago. ;) And I immediately pulled up Smitten Kitchen because I just knew you'd have a good recipe for a strawberry rhubarb pie...I've been pining for it since I first tasted such in Stratford, Ontario, probably ten years ago! THANKS. This beauty just came out of the oven…and I’m extremely excited to eat it!

This pie looks amazing and I want to make it today. Is there any way to leave out the shortening in the crust or substitute it for something else? This pie looks amazing and I want to make it today.

I had been using your bourbon peach pie filling (from the hand pies) with this crust, but added the amount of sugar to the crust that was in the hand pie crust recipe. That's what I get for cooking in a hurry! Okay, never mind.

I chilled it as directed, but noticed it was particularly prone to falling apart when I tried to transfer it. Now it's baking, and it's a good thing I have an extra pan under it because bits of crust sort of "melt" and fall off the sides. Any ideas on what I could've done wrong? Maybe I just should've chilled it even longer? So I don’t know what I did wrong here, but my pie is currently in the oven, and the crust just looks…wrong.
