This is great, I'll be making this again many times. I added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts to the crust, increased the rhubarb to 4 cups & added an extra TBSP milk in the crust. I have a rhubarb plant that is an over achiver and am always looking for new GOOD rhubarb recipes. This one fits the bill. Read More

Too much sugar sitting on top, though my husband liked the crunch because he didn't know it was a cup of sugar. Don't think I'll use this recipe again. Read More

This is a SURPRISE!!! Lots of raves and oohs and ahhs. Used a 10" pie plate - had 5 cups of rhubarb so used it all - It turned out just super - sure will be making again and again.A little Ice cream or whip cream added on top just hit the spot. Read More

It was great to see this recipe. I received the recipe from my mom's neighbor 30 years ago and have never seen it in print since that time!! It's been a family favorite for all these years and every time I take it to a gathering it is also a hit. Thanks for submitting it for others to see. I've added other fresh berries along with with rhubarb which is also great. Read More

My neighbor grows rhubarb and gave me some to use. I made this pie and shared it with him. I did use almost 5 cups of rhubarb as suggested and did use some brown sugar for the topping instead of all white. Also added the walnuts as suggested. Very very good! Served it with vanilla ice cream. Thanks! Read More

Great recipe. Just make sure you use the 3 cups of rhubarb (could use up to 3 1/2 if wanted to) or you won't have alot of filling to equal with the crust. I used frozen rhubarb that i had put in the freezer came out fine. My father loved it and hubby who isn't fond of rhubarb liked it too!!. I'd make again. Read More

The recipe was easy to make but could use a little more sugar. Also I would prefer a flakier crust. I think it would be really good with maybe 1/4 to 1/3 c. sugar added with the jello. Read More
