Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

It's finally here - strawberry season!  And with it comes strawberry shortcake and strawberry rhubarb pie.  There are many other wonderful uses for strawberries this time of the year, but those two are my favorite... those and eating the berries right out of the container fresh from the farm.  Here is a quick and delicious recipe for strawberry rhubarb pie from one of my favorite cooking friends, Betty Crocker.  And don't forget about Jane's Perfect Pie Crust (click here for the recipe).
