The flavor is heavenly. The addition of the orange zest is brilliant. This is undoubtedly the best rhubarb pie I ever have made. Thanks so much! for posting it.

We love rhubarb and while I have a good many recipes we love I am always looking to be adding more. I was going through the recipes for a recipe that had a sprinkling on the bottom crust as yours does, this worked so well that I will be using this on all my fruit pies! What a wonderful idea! I used four cups of rhubarb which is the amount that seems to be the perfect for my pans and with the rain having made for wonderfully extra juicy stalks I did add extra flour to thicken. The pie was absolutely delicious and can't wait to be serving this to my summer guests. Thank you for a great recipe that had already been added to my 'rhubarb collection'
