Cherry Rhubarb Pie

Full recipe

If it’s summer season or you just want to make a delicious cherry and rhubarb pie, this quick recipe is for you. Three reasons why it should be cooked:

• it’s easy;
• it’s quick;
• it’s delicious.

Let’s start by talking about the ingredients. Rhubarb and cherry can be used both fresh and frozen. If rhubarb is fresh, it should be cleaned of hard peel, washed and cut into small slices the size of a thumbnail.

If you kept rhubarb frozen, it should be allowed to thaw, preferably in the refrigerator or at room temperature, so that it does not run out of a lot of juice. We do the same with cherries. Frozen – defrost and get rid of bones, if the whole berries were frozen. If it’s fresh, we just wash it out and squeeze out the bones.

For convenience, it is better to clean the cherries from bones before freezing. In the future you will not have to process cold berries.

Useful tip

Now let’s get to the dough. It will be made of two kinds of flour, rice and corn, buttermilk, eggs, baking powder and sweetener. As can be seen from the ingredients – it is a Health food recipe, so we make dough without sugar and ordinary wheat flour. But if you want, use what’s on hand.

It’s elementary to make dough. Mix the flour, baking powder, sweetener and mix it. For taste and smell, add some vanilla and cinnamon. This will give the finished cake a pleasant flavour. We add kefir and eggs. Mix the resulting blend well to a homogeneous mass, so there are no lumps of flour left. The dough for the pie on the kefir is quite lush. Adding a little more baking powder, you get a soft biscuit, not a flat lump of fried dough.

The cake is made in a glass form, but nobody prevents you from using a silicone or deep tray. Grease the mold with a drop of olive oil (you can do any other) and pour out half the dough.

Due to the fact that the dough is liquid enough, this cake recipe is called “jellied” among the people.

Then we lay out the sliced rhubarb and cherry. Of course, the stuffing can be any fruit of your choice, but this recipe is dedicated to a specific cake with rhubarb and cherry. On top of the filling, we pour out the rest of the dough.

We bake the cake at 170°. For this purpose, we put the mould in a preheated oven. The baking time takes about 40-45 minutes. If everything is done correctly, then during this time the cake will be perfectly baked – it will not burn and will not be raw.

We can start eating pie! But I would recommend letting it cool down a little. Personally, I like him better chilled.

Cherry rhubarb pie is very delicious due to its unusual sourness. If you are not a fan of unreal sweet baking, this recipe will not leave you indifferent, and will certainly be added to your cookery book!

Bon appetit! DON’T STARVE 😋
