    Today I made rhubarb pie for our Sunday lunch. I made basic shortcurst pastry as taught by my mother and my grandmother - it is so easy and takes so little time. I picked rhubarb from the garden, chopped it into 1" pieces and tossed them with sugar and cornflour: sugar sweetens and cornfour thickens the juice. Put into the pastry base, put the top on - cook for around 20 -30 minutes ( I cook on an Aga so temperatures are more instinctive than precise). Can't understand why anyone would pre-cook such a soft fruit as rhubarb before putting it into the pie. But then can't understand why anyone can't make basic shortcrust pastry.

    Hi Judy. I see you tossed the rhubarb in sugar and cornflour but how much sugar do you need? I'm never sure, that's why I've pre-cooked the rhubarb in the past, so I can taste it.
