Some people are blessed with a long family; others with family money. I however am blessed with something of a culinary history. In our family there is one individual who is the gate keeper of all the "secret" family recipes. I recently acquired about 5 lbs of rhubarb. Now I don't know about you but when I hear rhubarb I think of my grandmother's strawberry rhubarb pie. My grand mother would make this pie every time my family would get together. It is the best pie you have ever tasted a perfect balance between strawberry and rhubarb with just enough sweetness and of course the most amazing flaky crust you have ever encountered. So I naturally called her up, now something you should know is that my grandma can at times be somewhat resistant to sharing her recipes and anytime in the past that I had asked for this recipe she would always tell me, "It's too complicated, you'll never get it right." But I finally got it. I can finally make heaven's pie anytime I want. Do you want to know the real kicker? It's also the simplest pie recipe ever! I can't believe it all this time and the woman was holding out on me.
