This crust recipe is very close to the one I always use for fruit pies. I never put powdered sugar in mine, but it worked. I used plain Crisco & 4 Tablespoons corn starch plus 1 Tablespoon flour. I added the flour, since so many reviews said pie was runny. I think it would have been fine using just the corn starch. Followed recipe & think the secret is the fresh lemon zest and juice. Its a keeper!

I made this recipe with Splenda and Xantham Gum to replace the sugar and flour. I also left out the Rhubarb and replaced it with Blueberries. I also added fresh grated nutmeg. It was quite yummie. I plan on trying it with sugar next time.

I made this for my sister's graduation party....and my boyfriend told me that I must make it for our annual block party...and the rest of my family loved it. I used about 4 1/2 Tbls of corn starch instead of tapioca, following other reviewers recommendations, but next time I will probably put in one more Tbls...none the less this pie was a huge success!!

I followed the recipe exactly and even waited until the next day to cut into the pie. It was very runny and although it tasted good I would have been embarassed to serve it to company. I'll make it again but I'll ditch the tapioca and go with cornstarch and more of it.

This is a great recipe. I did cut the sugar back to 1 cup, I felt that it seemed to be too much. It still was sweet & yummy.

This pie was great! I added 3 tablespoons of cornstarch instead of the tapioca, it set up perfectly. I also loved the lemon and lemon zest, it added a great twist! Oh, and the crust tasted great! I am not much for pies but this one is perfect!

This is my husband's new favorite pie. I did tweak it a bit by using the 6-7 tablespoons of cornstarch (as suggested by others and adding blueberries. After making three of these pies, on the fourth one, I cut the sugar back to 1 cup. That allowed more of the tartness from the rhubarb to come through. I also cheat and use a Pillsbury pie crust - shhhh.

To answer the question below, I believe this is a pie for a 9" pan. I just tried it out this evening and it fit perfectly. However, I would still recommend the cookie sheet - I had a bit of an overflow myself!
Still a great pie though overall.

This pie is terrific. I'd never eaten strawberry rhubarb before, although I have made it in the past. I wanted to try a really good one for my first. Well, I'm hooked. I've made it twice in as many weeks. I just used the 6 Tbl. cornstarch instead of the tapioca. I didn't use the butter on the top either. Mostly because I forgot the first time and found that it doesn't need it.
