More About This Recipe

  • Rhubarb is in season and the stores are carrying a plethora of it! Growing up, I actually wasn’t a fan of rhubarb. My mother loved it, and I couldn’t understand how she could like the bitter taste. But after officially making my own rhubarb pie, I was pleasantly surprised; with the right amount of sugar and a few other simple ingredients, rhubarb can be quite delicious! I love this VERY simple recipe because its quick and there isn’t a lot of prep. Adding a whipped meringue to the top is the icing on the cake...er, pie! It enhances the flavor, presentation and takes the place of heavy whipped cream. When making this pie, you can cut the rhubarb into tiny chunks or larger chunks. It’s really up to your preference. Just make sure you let the pie sit for a few hours (or even overnight!) so it can set and won’t be as runny. Also, wait to top it with the meringue until you're about ready to serve it. Enjoy!

    Preheat the oven to 450°F and prepare your ingredients.

    In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy (do not underbeat). Spread meringue over rhubarb mixture to edge of crust.

    Bake 6-8 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. (Cover crust edges with foil if they are getting too brown.) Cool at least 1 hour before serving. Rhubarb pie can be soft-set; feel free to serve in bowls instead of plates, with vanilla ice cream on top!
