Rhubarb Custard Pie I

SUBMITTED BY: Ella

"My ex-mother-in-law used to make this for me. It's not a milk custard type, and it's not like a regular rhubarb pie. It's just fantastic! Fresh or frozen rhubarb may be used."

This pie was awesome!! It had a great sweet yet tart flavor. I will definitely use this recipe again. I added a cup more of rhubarb to fill in the pie plate a little more.

My Mom found this recipe when she first got married in 1938. It was from the "American Woman's Cook Book" which is an old 3" thick green book that has seen better days, but is still in my cupboard. The rhubard pie is just as good now as it was in 1938. The only hint I can tell you is to add a tablespoon or so of flour and one of sugar in the bottom of the pie crust before you add the filling. Mom said that keeps the crust from getting soggy. Now I have to go out and find some rhubarb. I NEED to make this again.

This pie is so good! It's just like my mom used to make...just one comment - make sure you let it cool completely before cutting it or it will be too runny.
