STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

7/22/2012

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

As a spring rite, as soon as the first tender rhubarb stalks start poking up thru the warm soil we start planning our rhubarb cooking and baking. The season is short, and the list of favorite rhubarb recipes is long – so it is always a battle of the favorites! Rhubarb Jam is always first, but next on the list is two Strawberry Rhubarb pies – one for the family to enjoy, and one for Skipper to have all to himself! The combination of rhubarb with strawberries or raspberries is a fruity match made in heaven. The sweetness of the fruit balances out the tartness of the rhubarb, baking into a beautiful, glorious, sweetly tart pink pie. This is my hubby’s favorite recipe!

Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie

This is my favorite recipe and the way that my Mom always made it - with a wonderful custard filling! Skipper grew up with a more simple Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, without the custard, so as long as I make his favorite recipe as well, there is peace in the family!

I'm getting so hungry smelling the sweet aroma of this pie....and looking at these pictures, that I think I need a piece right now!

So fresh, so custardy, so perfectly strawberry and rhubarb - just plain perfect in every way! Hope that you enjoy MY recipe as well!

HERSHEY'S SYRUP BROWNIES with FUDGE ICING

7/7/2012

This is an old-time family favorite recipe - I remember Grandma and Great-Grandma making these in the 1970's, and they were a staple at most picnics and backyard parties that I can remember.

The hard part now is finding cans of Hershey Syrup - the original recipe calls for a 16 ounce can of Hershey Syrup, which is practically impossible to find. If you ask people what 16 ounces mean, many will tell you that it is two cups - but the 16 ounce can actually is measured by weight, and holds only 1-1/2 cups of chocolate syrup.

Very easy to make - very moist and extremely chocolately - almost like a flourless chocolate cake. I like to garnish with fresh raspberries or strawberries - but these are also absolutely wonderful served with a scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream, and then drizzled with a spoonful of the hot Fudge Icing - so good!
