Aunt Pat's Rhubarb Pie
Ingredients
- 2 pie shells
- 4 cups rhubarb cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tbls red Jello-(strawberry, cherry, even watermelon works great)
- 3 tbls instant tapioca
- 1 tsp orange zest or fresh orange peel
- Butter or margarine
Directions
- Mix the sugar and salt with the Jello. Toss the sugar mixture with the rhubarb. Let sit for at least 1/2 hour or more.
- Then add the tapioca and orange zest to the rhubarb mixture.
- Put 1 pieshell in bottom of pie pan. Pour in rhubarb mixture. Place a few dollops of butter/margarine on top of mixture, then top with 2nd pie shell. Flute. Make some splits in the top. I usually make a big happy face. LOL Optional:Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle some white sugar over it.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Cover edges with aluminum foil. Lower oven temp to 350. Then bake an additional 40 minutes or until as brown as you'd like it.
I submitted this on Allrecipes but they've never approved it yet. Bah! The tapioca and jello gives some body to the sauce so it isn't runny. You could add strawberries too.
Love in Idleness. I do not have that. Can you believe it!! LOL
So to make up for it, I will do this one.
Fire Of Love
It's pink! I've seen red bpals but never pink. In the vial I first thought 'fiesty' when I smelled it. This is stro-o-o-o-o-o-ng. Gotta be jasmine or lavendar. It POPS! I think it's jasmine because it's kind of reminding me of Lush's Lust soap and perfume. It's also turning soapy. Rose are you in there??
This is one strong floral soap. Gorgeous too!
What's in this? Bah! There's no description. I hate that!! A catalytic, potent love oil used to spark (or rekindle) the flame of desire between lovers.
My husband wouldn't like this so no flames in this house tonight.. hehe
The reviews are all over the place on bpal, some get ginger, some get baby diapers, some cedar or wood, some musk.
I still think it's jasmine. I like it, but no big bottle winner.
1/2 hr later: Nope it's roses.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I loves me some pie! But I'll have to make mini pies as no one else that I know like rhubarb- what the hell's wrong with them?! It's delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I *really* want to send you my imp of Love In Idleness- it's like the love child of Magnolia and Jasmine. It's way too much of a floral for me- that and when you wear it, it turns into a miasma of potency that you can smell throughout the room- maybe I amp something in it?
Anyhoodles, got done sawing down trees into something that we can burn next winter- damn heavy logs, why are you so heavy?! Today my body hates me sooo, so much.
