TBB: BlueRhu Pie

I finally got my Rose's Pie plate! Yay! :)  I really like the design and I had no problem releasing the pie from the plate. Some people commented saying that they had difficulty, I didn't have any. You can see from the pictures below that the crust on the sides automatically lift off by itself when cooked. 

I've never tasted Rhubarb so I am very keen to taste it.
I hunt high and low for rhubarb and managed to find 2 stores that had stock.

I made order for one store but saw another store had theirs in early so I bought it. So expensive at $12 for 3 stalks! Anyway, since I was eager to try, I paid for it anyway.  

My daughter said we have tasted Rhubarb before in Australia.. I can't remember though..(sign of me getting old....)

Many thanks to Catherine who taught me to remove the stringy part of the rhubarb like celery. Otherwise, I won't know how or what to do.  

I removed quite a lot because there was lots of stringy parts..no more red left! 

Next, macerate and then cook the BluRhu filling. 

Oh..the pastry..I figured, there is no need to take photos again because it's basically the same pastry we have been making. So I rolled the pastry onto my new pie plate. :) Wrapped it and let it relax in the fridge.

After fill with filling and roll another pastry above. 

I didn't want to do lattice design again..so I tried a different method..and

made a rose in the centre since I'm using Rose pie plate too. :) 

 Cover with foil around the sides. And bake for 30mins. 

Baked and out of oven. 

I think next time I should sugar the bottom crust before the rose on top..to make it look prettier. 

Couldn't wait to taste!  

So delicious! 

I love rhubarb! Taste so soft. Slightly tart but not as tart as cranberries.

It's so soft and translucent just like aloe vera to me! 

Usually I like more crust, but this time, I wished I had double the filing!

See the translucent rhubarb...hard to tell/see. 

Another slice the next day. The rhubarb on the tip..:)  

My family loves it. 

Esp. my husband, he kept saying it's very good for many times while eating! 

Even the next day, he said the same thing too.  LOL!

At least I found out I like rhubarb! :D

I packed some for my daughter to bring to her work place. Her colleagues are young people who work till 11pm almost every night and they can afford more calories..lol! They liked the pie. Only one didn't and said it tasted like vegetable..(I guess must be the rhubarb she was referring to..lol!). 

My helper helped me eat up the rest of the pie. She's not picky and often she says all my bakes are yummy except when you notice that she's not eating them..means they are not good..LOL!..like the Dattelkonfekt.  I'm glad to have a helper who can eat and not worry about getting fat. And she eats a lot of rice too. She says she has no energy if she doesn't eat rice. LOL! I think not just her.. most of us Asians are like that.. we must have our rice. :)
