This is my first time making this pie with my very own rhubarb! Thanks to my friend, I have my own plant now, and I'll happily make pies from it for years to come. My aunt used to make this pie all the time, and it's fantastic! It's tart and sweet and really unique. I use Betty Crocker's Standard Pastry recipe along with this, and it's a winner every time!
