Dad's Rhubarb Custard Pie
"This was my dad's favorite pie from his childhood, and he brought it with him into his family. Mom still has the original recipe card from years ago, which I copied carefully to bake for my family. The first time I made it for my family, it was a hit!"

ingredients
directions
- Cut the rhubarb, and place into your unbaked pie shell.
- Cover the rhubarb with the 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Mix your beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of remaining sugar, along with your whole milk.
- Pour this mixture over your rhubarb and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, let cool before serving, this will allow the custard to set.
- Note: It is important that you don't put more rhubarb in than the recipe calls for, rhubarb is very watery, and will cause the custard to not set. Also, not using whole milk will result in the same outcome.
- If you are having problems with the pie not setting, try adding 1 Tablespoon of flour, by tossing the rhubarb in it before putting into the pie shell.

12-14-2018 Update : I am gluten free, not by choice. I love to Bake, usually on Sunday afternoons when I am at home with my family after church. So...when I had to go gluten free... it changed my life. I felt like when one is gut punched.
I have been in the kitchen with my mom since I was 12, learning from her. . I now had to learn how to cook & bake all over again. I had to learn how to bake GF, cook GF,...it was a huge challenge. Most of what I had learned for the last 40 years had to be adjusted. I gave up for a period of time, very discouraged. Now, I look forward to time for my baking... I have learned how to adjust and bake, making most recipes GF. We have raspberries, Rhubarb, Blueberries, and Marionberries out in our garden, so I have plenty of fruit to keep me busy in the spring and summer. I also enjoy making fresh jam for my family and being able to have it year round in the freezer. I live in the Pacific Northwest. I have the mountains, the beach, and high desert all within two hour drive. Time taken for trips to the Pacific Coastline renews me when I am worn out and stressed.?
What I enjoy to do for fun is being outdoors, riding our motorcycle, camping and cruising when we can. I love the wildlife, a short hike in the woods is wonderful. I love to do hand stitching. I am recently working on Angel Of Hope. It's that time of year. Hummm....Pet Peeve, oh I have one. crazy as this is..... I hate cleaning up the counter and floured area after rolling out pie crust. But, I am pretty good making a great pie crust. :)
