Don't fill too much or there won't be room for the custard. Mix together and sprinkle over rhubarb 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour Custard: Beat together 1 egg 1/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon flour Add : 1 cup milk Pour over rhubarb in pie shell and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 400° F for 10 minutes, turn down temperature to 350° and finish cooking a further 25 minutes or until custard is set. Quick pie crust In a 9 or 10 inch pie plate mix the following and pat into place 11/2 cup flour 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil mixed with 3 tablespoons milk This recipe can be made ahead of time and popped into the freezer. Quite often I put my pastry, once in the pie plate, into the freezer while I make the rest of the pie. When you start with a frozen pie shell you are less likely to end up with a soggy bottom after baking. Another neat trick with rhubarb is the fact that its flavour blends quite nicely with so many others and is a perfect stretcher for fruit jams. Here is a jam recipe from New Zealand that doesn't use a commercial thickener. Rhubarb and Raspberry Jam 2 kilos rhubarb, finely sliced 1.2 kilo sugar 1 kilo raspberries Place the rhubarb in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar and leave overnight. Stir in the raspberries. Tip all into a preserving kettle and bring slowly to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until setting point is reached. Pour into warm, dry jars and seal with either jam covers or paraffin.0
