Something Went Wrong
I made this pie as directed but the rhubarb was still crunchy when the pie was done. It tasted good. The topping was delicious! I’m wondering if I should pre-cook the rhubarb next time. I’ve never had that happen with other rhubarb recipes.
Hi MB,
We did not have this problem, we used frozen rhubarb. Perhaps your stalks were less ripe? Sorry this happened. You may wish to increase the baking time by 15 minutes depending on the rhubarb used. We do not suggest pre-cooking the rhubarb. Thank you for your comments.
Thank you Rachel for this great recipe! GF/Low fodmap baking is new to me and so I’d really like this pie to turn out. I will use frozen rhubarb as I want to mimic what you did. Did you use fresh or frozen berries?
Hi Tricia!
Thanks for your question!
I used all frozen fruit for the pie. However, one reader suggested that her rhubarb did not get soft enough. Just pay attention and feel free to increase the bake time by 15 minutes until yours is the consistency you prefer. Good luck!
Yummy!
Just had a slice to myself and it is just too good! Rhubarb really mimics the tartness and texture of apples and I have really missed apple pie, but not anymore. Made the crumble with butter and did the pie bag with the pastry. No mess, no fuss! Just unadulterated goodness on a plate! Thanks for a lovely recipe. Will be making this again when the kids return for the summer.
Oh! And I have used fresh rhubarb as they are in season in the UK.
Could not agree more! Thank you so much for your feedback!
Thaw Frozen Strawberries and Rhubarb First
When you made the pie, did you thaw the frozen strawberries and rhubarb first? Sounds yummy!
Thanks for the question Laura!
No, I baked them frozen, but added the additional starch as the recipe suggests. Hope you love it 🙂
