It was a weekend for gardening. Tomatoes and herbs were planted. The chicken wire cages are to keep puppy from trampling the new plants. I will build better support cages once I get a chance to go to the lumber store. It's not a good photo, sorry kids.
It was also harvested. The rhubarb was cut and made into the first pie of the season.
O.M.G. It is so delicious!Lars's recipe?
4 Cups/ 500 grams peeled and diced Rhubarb
2 Cups / 400 grams sugar
a good generous pinch of nutmeg
mix together and let set for a couple of hours so the sugar can draw the moisture out of the rhubarb.
Strain the liquid off into a saucepan and throw in a handful of craisins ( dried cranberries), bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Let set for 15 - 20 minutes so the craisins can plump.
Pour the liquid back through the rhubarb in the sieve to cool it off. beat 4 or 5 eggs into the liquid mixture. mix the liquid and the rhubarb craisins together.
Pour into a 10 inch pie shell reserving a couple of tablespoons liquid. Press top crust onto pie and brush generously with reserved liquid. Cut top crust to vent.
Bake at 350 F. for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool pie and enjoy the rhubarb pie that will change your mind about rhubarb.
This is the way my grandma made Rhubarb pie, except for the craisins, I learned that at some fancy restaurant in San Diego. The Custard makes the Pie.
