Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb is technically a vegetable but is most often cooked as a fruit. It is tart and sour, so it is most often cooked with sugar. Rhubarb has been cultivated in the United Kingdom since the 1600s, where pies using it are popular. Rhubarb pie recipes arrived in the early colonies with immigrants. Strawberry rhubarb pies are popular in New England.
