Questions about Rhubarb pie
How do you stop rhubarb pie having a soggy bottom?
Toss chopped rhubarb with sugar and cornflour, and bake the pie on a preheated metal baking tray on a lower oven shelf. The hot tray helps the pastry base set before the juicy filling can soak into it.
Do you need to cook rhubarb before putting it in a pie?
Usually not: cut the stalks into short pieces and mix them with sugar and a little cornflour before filling the pastry. Pre-cooking can make the filling mushy, so use it only if your recipe specifically calls for it.
Can you make rhubarb pie with frozen rhubarb?
Yes. Use it straight from the freezer rather than thawing it, and mix it with a little extra cornflour to absorb the liquid released as it bakes.
How long does rhubarb pie keep, and should you refrigerate it?
Once cool, cover the pie and refrigerate it; eat it within three days. Bring a slice to room temperature or warm it in the oven before serving.
How do you reheat rhubarb pie without making the pastry soft?
Warm individual slices in an oven at 160 °C for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. A microwave is quicker but tends to soften the pastry.
What do you serve with rhubarb pie?
Vanilla custard is a classic partner; whipped cream or vanilla ice cream also balances rhubarb’s sharpness. Serve the pie warm, but let it stand for at least 20 minutes after baking so the filling can settle.
Can you use rhubarb leaves in rhubarb pie?
No—use only the stalks. Rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid and should not be eaten; trim them off and discard them.
Can you use strawberries instead of some of the rhubarb in a pie?
Yes. Replace up to half the rhubarb with chopped strawberries for a sweeter, softer filling, and use a little less sugar than you would for an all-rhubarb pie.
