I had friends for lunch today, just a simple affair of pulled-pork sandwiches with cole slaw and rhubarb applesauce. I never expected the Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie would steal the show!

Grandma would have been proud. She had little time for double-crust pies. Rustic open-face pies were more her thing. But every once in a while, when she had a few extra minutes, she'd wow us with rhubarb and strawberries nestled between two flaky crusts.
