Instructions

Filling

In a large bowl, wash and cut the strawberries and rhubarb into bit sizes. Squeeze some lemon juice to keep the strawberries crisp. I do this with all my fruits when cooking. It also helps them from turning brown and makes
Place the butter, strawberries and rhubarb in a cooking pot on medium heat with sugar and brown sugar.
Add orange juice and orange zest and mix. Let it simmer until the sugar has melted.
Let it cook down a bit until the liquid has evaporate a little.
Mix the cornstarch with some of the liquid from the pot and mix in a medium bowl. Add a little water if it is too hard to make it loosen and looks like a thick paste. Mix into the pot on low heat and keep mixing until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pie Crust

Butter the pan and roll out the dough onto the pan. Press down the dough on the edges where needed. Make a design by poking holes with a straw so the pie can vent while it cooks. Fill the pie and place the top layer while sealing the edges together.
Make an egg wash with 1 egg and a little water. Brush on top of the pie dough and sprinkle sugar.
Heat the oven at 375º degrees for 20 min. Reduce heat to 350º degrees and bake for another 20 minutes or more. Keep an eye on the crust until it's till golden brown.
Let the pie rest before cutting into it. Serve with vanilla ice cream.Enjoy!

Notes

Place sheet pan on the bottom rack of the oven in case any drips come off to the pie.
Don't over fill the pie, a little of the filling maybe left over. Use on top of ice cream of French toast.
To add the perfect balance of ice cream or whipped cream to the pie while it's still a little warm for the perfect bite!
