Cardamom Cranberry Rhubarb Pie

[shanmonster]

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!

Yeah, that would be one tart pie.
Last night I made that beer bread recipe that you posted a while back and the family loved it!
In fact, they ate all the bread (the whole recipe) and left the stew.

I'm glad they like the bread! It's a hit here, too.

The pie was also enjoyed by all who tried it. I think the flavours work together very well. It was inspired by my making cranberry sauce a while back, and running out of cranberries and topping it up with rhubarb, then adding cardamom, just 'cause. I loved the way the sauce came out, and decided it would also be great as a pie.
