I made this recipe twice last night to double it and the second time came up with an easy way to blend the almond paste. I cut it into chunks and put the almond paste and the sugar into my blender. The almond paste and sugar were pulverized and mixed. It worked wonderfully and VERY quickly. No chunks of almond paste at all. I also added almond extract. They were wonderful thanks! I took a tip from a friend and greased the pans then put parchment paper in the pans and then greased the parchment paper. No breaking and they came out of the pans easily.

Perfect!! I used 3 cups strawberries sliced in 1/2 (they were on the small side) and 3 cups rhubarb and I also put 2 TBS cornstarch in the flour/sugar mixture. I have made pies like this many times and it seems to be hit or miss with them being runny. This time I followed the advice of many others and used a lattice top. When the pie was just about done I turned the oven off and left the pie in there for the rest of the evening, then I put the pie in the fridge right before bed. Perfect!!! Thanks.

We all love this recipe. Most of the time I make it exactly as written, but the last time I decided to shortcut the shortcut cake and I used a box yellow cake mix. Blah! Didn't like it at all that way. So in my opinion it's WAY better to make it as written. YUM! Thanks.
