Cardamom Cranberry Rhubarb Pie

I decided to invent a pie recipe, and this is what I came up with. This is a deliciously tart-tasting pie, and easy to make.

2 cups cranberries
1 cup rhubarb
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 Tbsp ground cardamom
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
a bit of milk
sugar for sprinkling


- Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine sugar, cardamom, and flour.
- Add berries and rhubarb (if they were frozen, defrost and drain off liquid, first), mixing until uniformly covered. Dump into an unbaked pie shell.
- Cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut slashes in the crust for ventilation.
- Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 425 degree F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.

I made mine into a Pi pie. It was great!
