The Joys of Summer Produce

It’s warm, it’s beautiful, it’s so wonderful to be outside! Summer is almost here and all the warm sunshine brings all the farms and gardens back to life.

I live in a farming county and am pretty much surrounded by farmland. So not only do I get to breathe in that fresh country, Lancaster County air (eek), I also get the fresh produce perks.

I’m not sure how it is in other farming communities, but here you’ll find many farmers have roadside produce stands. Most of them offer simply whatever is in season, while others will have a selection of eggs, homemade jams, sauerkraut, pickled veggies, butters, baked goods and such.

Prices are far cheaper at our produce stands than you would find in a farmers market or grocery store. I buy local as much as possible and can or freeze produce for year round goodness. On that note – rhubarb freezes wonderfully – so buy extra and freeze some!

Rhubarb Flavor Profile

Rhubarb has a tartness all of it’s own. Not so splendid on it’s own, but turns into something wonderful when cooked or baked with sugar. I’ve tried it raw as well and did not enjoy it. Cranberries are the same way.

You’ll notice that strawberries are often paired with rhubarb. The sweetness of strawberries & the unique tartness of rhubarb are the perfect balance.

I make a Rhubarb Kuchen – my husband and I loved it – but it was just too much rhubarb for the kiddos. I didn’t want them to miss out on the joys of fresh rhubarb, so I bake this Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Crumb Topping.

Love all the fruit pies with crumb topping? Me too! Here’s some more for you! Check out this recipe for Easy Apple Pie & Peach & Blueberry Pie!

Ingredients & Instructions for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie With Crumb Topping

This pie is simple to make. Cut up your rhubarb & strawberries and combine with sugar, egg, flour and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Spoon that into the pie crust.

Then prepare your crumb topping. Combine all the topping ingredients, cut in the butter & sprinkle topping on top of pie.

Place pie on a cookie sheet (not necessary – but far easier to remove when done baking) and bake!

This pie has to be refrigerated after cooled, but the crumbs will hold up for a day or two before getting mushy.

Hope you enjoy!

    That brown sugar crumb topping looks really good! Rhubarb is just about the only local produce that’s being harvested so far here in North Dakota, but hopefully our ONE local farmstand will open next month 🙂

      Thanks Erin – I love that crumb topping! I hear ya – the produce pickings are slim this time of the year. So far rhubarb, asparagus and some greens are in season in PA. Strawberry season is just starting. Can’t wait till we’re in full swing!

    Could you just do straight rhubarb if you wanted?

      Hi Becky. The recipe would have to be modified a bit for straight rhubarb.

    This looks ah-mazing and I will have to try once I find some fresh produce! I live in Northern Cali (albeit not for long) and it embarrassing-ly never occurred to me to drive down the side roads to find produce stands less pricey. I will have to look into it this weekend! Thanks for this recipe!

    oh wow this looks sooo good! I love strawberry rhubarb pie! One of my favourite pie combos. I have never heard it called French Strawberry Rhubarb before, that’s so interesting! I need to look into that…love the history behind different foods and recipes.
    I love getting fruits and veggies at road side stops and farmers markets. We’re too cold for that here yet (still ice storms and snow, so really far from fresh fruit season haha) but I am excited for summer when I can buy all the delicious fresh fruit at road side booths. I can’t WAIT for rhubarb as I can’t find it here at all (even frozen) during the winter. This summer I’m going to buy tons and freeze it for the winter (because I REALLY miss my strawberry/rhubarb pie!!). This pie sounds amazing and love that crumble top 😀
