Raspberry Rhubarb Slab Pie Recipes

RASPBERRY-RHUBARB SLAB PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Whisk 3/4 cup milk and egg yolk; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary., Divide dough in 2 portions so that 1 is slightly larger than the other; cover each and refrigerate 1 hour or until easy to handle., Preheat oven to 375°. Roll out larger portion of dough between 2 large sheets of lightly floured waxed paper into an 18x13-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Press onto the bottom and up sides of pan; trim crust to edges of pan., In a large bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add raspberries and rhubarb; toss to coat. Spoon into crust., Roll out remaining dough; place over filling. Fold bottom crust over edge of top crust; seal with a fork. Prick top with a fork., Bake until golden brown, 45-55 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack., For icing, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency; drizzle over pie. Cut pie into squares.

RASPBERRY RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Line a small, 8-inch pie tin with one of the pastry crusts.
• Combine all ingredients except butter in bowl and mix well to blend. Puor into pastry-lined tin.
• Dot with butter. Place other crust on top of the pie and crimp edges. Cut slits to vent or use a lattice top.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, until bubbly and crust is brown. If you dislike dark edges, cover pie crust rim with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
• OPTION: Brush top crust with cream or milk prior to baking, for a golden color. I like to sprinkle some granulated sugar on the pie as soon as it comes out of the oven if doing a lattice top. It won't adhere to a mostly-crust top.
• I highly recommend serving this pie cold, with whipped cream, or slightly warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Make pie crust for two-crust pie according to your favorite recipe.
• Refrigerate pie dough until ready to use.
• For Filling: Cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1/2-inch slices to measure 4 cups (reserve one cup).
• In a 3-quart kettle stir together 3 cups rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted, about 6 minutes.
• In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and lemon juice.
• Add cornstarch mixture to rhubarb mixture and boil, stirring constantly, until rhubarb is thickened, about 5 minutes, and transfer mixture to a bowl. NOTE: Feel free to use additional cornstarch to thicken if the mixture does not reach a consistency to your liking.
• Cool mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Fold raspberries and remaining cup rhubarb into mixture until just combined.
• Chill rhubarb filling, covered, at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk to make an egg wash.
• Fit 11-inch round of dough into a 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plate and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
• Spoon rhubarb filling into shell, smoothing top, and brush edge of crust with egg wash.
• Drape remaining pastry round over filling and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
• Crimp edge decoratively.
• With a sharp small knife score a decorative pattern on crust and brush crust evenly with some egg wash.
• Sprinkle crust with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake pie on a baking sheet in middle of oven 45-50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cooked through.
• (If pastry gets too brown too quickly, tent pie with foil.) Transfer pie to a rack.
• Cool pie at least 1 hour to set filling.
• Serve pie with vanilla ice cream.
• NOTE: If you use frozen rhubarb or frozen raspberries, please make certain they are well-thawed and drained, and you may need to use additional thickener to achieve the proper consistency.
