Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb Pie My mother used to make this pie for us in the summer when I was a child.  Rhubarb grows very well in New Hampshire, so there was always a lot of it.  There really isn't much you can do with rhubarb except add lots of sugar and bake it in a dessert.  It is very tough, and sour.  Believe me, I once ate a piece raw...Yuck!  Anyway, this pie is so darn good I used to eat it for breakfast!  Now every summer, I make one myself.  It is truly my favorite pie!  It is not too sweet, and the rhubarb makes it a little sour.  The perfect combination!  I ate some for breakfast this morning, but don't tell anyone:)  Mel Gibson likes it too:) Start by washing, hulling & chopping rhubarb & strawberries into 1 inch cubes.  I used about 3 stalks of fresh rhubarb and two quarts of fresh strawberries.  (You can also use frozen fruit if you can't find fresh rhubarb)...
