Whenever I hear the word rhubarb, I always think of my grandma. She made pies every year no matter what. She would only buy rhubarb from a local gardener on her road, he still remembers her fondly. That man is still going strong and I buy it from him now too. It is a family tradition now, every summer I MUST make 2 rhubarb pies. If not, something is seriously wrong! This recipe is the closest to how Grandma's used to taste that I can possibly get it. I have to say, it's really good. Hope you like it!

This sounds almost the way my x mother-law used to make hers. She wouldn't give me the recipe but she did tell me what she put in it.
I been looking for a recipe similar and will try this one.
Unfortunately, for me, we can't grow rhubarb here in south Texas but I could use frozen or canned which is also hard to find. Thanks, I am going to copy it.
