SOUP
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I excuted this recipe exactly as per the instructions and my pie was nothing but soup with a crunchy topping! I am so upset!... I am also VERY GLAD that I didn't make this for guests, rather just for my husband and I. Not only was it SOUP, but it took much more time to make than estimated AND due it being so much liquid i decided to let it sit overnight before we cut into it and when we cut into it this morning guess, what...SOUP! I am so mad!!!! Read more

I've made a couple of different strawberry rhubarb pies as it's my bf's favorite, and this has been the best so far. The rum... addition is delicious and the almonds are a great touch. Emeril has great dessert recipes!Read more

Great Pie!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This pie was excellent. The filling did bubble over so make sure you line your sheet with foil under your pie plate. I also... used a pre-made crust because I was short on energy. The topping tasted good, but did not get as brown and golden as I was hoping it would. Still excellent!!!!Read more

pie turned out fabulous! my boyfriend wants to sell it for 20 bucks a slice! i didn't have the rum but there was so much... liquid left over in my pan that i only put 1/2 of it into my pie shell and it still bubbled over a bit. i saved the remaining juice and froze it for future ice cream dribblings..Read more
