Strawberries and Rhubarb go together. How many recipes don’t we all have with this combination? Strawberries and Bananas – another hit… but have you tried Rhubarb and Bananas???? The following pie recipe comes from the recipe file of Leonard and Marie DeWolfe. Marie passed on but Leonard still shares the recipe. The sweetness of the banana cuts through the tartness of the rhubarb and is surprisingly very good! Enjoy!
Rhubarb Banana Pie
Heat oven to 425. Prepare pie crust for a double crust pie.
Trim 1 1/2 pounds of fresh rhubarb and cut into 1/2″ slices. Mix with 1 1/3 c. sugar, 3 Tbsp. quick cook tapioca, 1 tsp. grated lemon rind and 1/4 tsp salt. Slice a large peeled banana over pastry in pie pan, top with rhubarb mixture. Dot with 2 tbsp. butter. Put top crust on. Bake 35-40 minutes until crust nicely browns.
