This is a great recipie, but the one thing I would change is not adding the orange zest. I found it too overpowering of the strawberry and rhubarb flavors, but a great recipie overall. I gave some to friends and they both asked for the recipie!

Quite a tasty filling. I made it with a traditional crust, however. As others have noted, this recipe will yield enough for two pies.

As mentioned in another review, this pie was very sweet - but was very tasty too. I made it with the crumb topping - using half brown sugar and adding some oatmeal. It did fill 2 pre-made pie shells - and even my husband and kids liked it, and they never like fruit pies!

I liked the recipe, but would make changes. I used the crumb topping, which was very good, but made the pie WAY too sweet. I would either cut back the sugar in the pie to 1 Cup, or cut the topping recipe sugar down some (perhaps I'll do both!) I didn't have any tapioca, so used 1/2 Cup flour instead. It worked fine. Other than being too sweet, the pie was delicious, and I will try it again.

Recipe had way too much tapioca! It made the pie dry and jelloie like. I used the crumb crust top and didn't like that either.

This recipe is EXCELLENT! I used this recipe for my first-ever strawberry rhubarb pie, and it was a hit! It is definitely the best-tasting s-r pie I have ever tasted in my LIFE! I would say this is easy to make for someone with only a little experience in making pies. I made this with a lattice top and it looked wonderful!

This recipe is delightful! My husband raved about this pie and he is not a fan or rhubarb. I made it with the crumb topping but used half brown sugar and half granulated sugar and about 1/3 cup of quick oats. I also used unsalted butter. Excellent pie!!!

My brother made this pie (his first) for Mother's Day with a little help from his wife and daughter. We all agreeed that we liked the crumb crust but that it was a bit sweet. We recommend cutting back the sugar in the topping.

Outstanding recipe, although I believe it should have been called a two pie recipe. I made it twice using frozen "deep dish" crusts and filled them both each time; the berry mixture even bubbled over both times too while cooking. If using freshly grated orange zest, you may wish to decrease the amout called for as it was very stong. The second time I made it, I used dried orange zest and it was perfect. With those two comments in mind, this is hands down the est strawberry rhubarb recipe I have ever made or tasted. I highly recommend the optional crumb top; it sets it apart from all other recipes!

I know that some kids don't like rhubarb, but had to give it 5 stars for kid friendliness, as this was my favorite dessert as a kid. This pie was very easy to make and impressed all of my friends. I generally prefer a crumble top, though the regular pie topping was quite nice.

This pie was absolutely easy to make, smelled wonderful making as well as baking and won my husbands "seal of approval"!! I used a frozen pie crust and it was a good thing i bought two because the ingredients filled BOTH! The crumb topping was a wonderful variation, this pie is definately going in my "all-time great pie" recipe box!

Excellent tasting pie! I made one for me and one for my brother. He also enjoyed it.. The splash of orange was a new and welcome twist. Fresh garden ingredients made all the difference.
