This simple rhubarb pie recipe is exactly how I make it. I have to buy fresh rhubarb from the store and freeze it. Rhubarb does not grow here in the southwest. I’m so glad I stocked up.

I did use the full amount of flour but still ran over.. I'm just curious.. What does the butter do?

I love the pie, although I wish the filling were a bit thifcker. It is very juicy. I thought the flour in the filling was a lot though, so I reduced it to 4 T. Turns out I should have made it as is. However, this pie is just delectable as is so 5 stars since the mistake was mine!

Excellent, even though I didn't follow directions very well and mixed the rhubarb with the sugar and flour before adding it to the pie. Unlike most other pies I make, the filling wasn't too runny.

High marks for simplicity. I've never eaten rhubarb pie before so I didn't know what to expect. It turns out that I really just don't like rhubarb.
