Can you freeze rhubarb?
Yes, you can freeze rhubarb! Growing up, rhubarb grew along the entire edge of our vegetable garden. We picked rhubarb, washed, cut, and froze it all the time. That way it stays fresh and you’ll have a freezer full to do what you want, jams, pies, etc.
Now that we’re in North Carolina, rhubarb, unfortunately doesn’t grow in our area. But, luckily there’s quite a few transplanted Yankees and some of the grocery stores carry it!
Strawberry season has arrived, so I thought what better way to celebrate these sweet, juicy beauties that to make a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! Strawberries are plump and so sweet right now!
If you’re looking for a homemade pie crust recipe, you’ll find it here:
Don’t feel intimidated by homemade pie crust. It’s really not that hard. Just keep your ingredients cold and don’t over work the dough. It’s as simple as that! Don’t you just love a pretty lattice crust?! I put a braid down the center of the pie for a little something extra. But still simple.
Baking a pie in cast iron:
Have you ever baked a pie in cast iron? Don’t be afraid, it’s quite simple! Just spray the bottom of your cast iron with some cooking spray or rub a little canola oil on with a clean paper towel. Then add your bottom crust, filling, top crust, egg wash, and bake. Simple! The bottom crust comes out perfectly. After you eat the pie, simply wash the pan, dry, and oil.

Ooh! Love strawberry rhubarb pie! Also love that you made it in a cast iron skillet. I’ve been trying to use mine for things other than cornbread LOL
Such a beautiful pie! I love strawberries in almost any dessert ?
I really, REALLY have to get on top of Rhubarb season this year! I can’t believe I haven’t tasted anything rhubarb yet!
Strawberry rhubarb is my favorite spring combination! Love it in any form but specially pie! Your recipe looks really delicious and easy!
Yummy! Love old fashioned cast-iron baking, and strawberry-rhubarb is such a classic combination!
Oh yes please! I’ll take a slice! I’m lucky to be in London, where rhubarb is in abundance, so thanks for the recipe.
Rhubarb is so difficult to find around here, which is no good because I have been craving strawberry-rhubarb and blood orange concoctions. I love that you baked this in a cast iron pan!
So delicious!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Robin!
