I am giddy with excitement that summer is here and the fruits are starting to ripe. I think I drooled a little on my computer when I got the email that our local farm was opening this weekend for strawberry picking. I missed the season last year, so this year I wanted to make sure I was there nice and early. Of course it had to be the hottest day of the summer so far, but that didn't stop my son and I from going out and picking. I also have had a couple batches of rhubarb growing in our background that I have never used in the past 9 years since we have lived here so I felt it was about time that I used that as well. The result of having both is a classic Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I like this recipe for a Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Pie because I am not a huge fan of pie crust, so the crumble topping gave it a nice mix up. I must be a very dedicated Baker Babe because having the oven going on this steamy day was tough, but I sweated it out and the results were worth it. Enjoy!
