I never make cutouts to top my pies, but I did today because the recipe told me to, and it made sense to leave a lot of open areas for steam, because strawberry-rhubarb pie usually ends up soupy, which drives me bananas. But I didn’t know how pretty it would turn out! I think this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever made! Besides our children, of course. I think I’ll make cutouts for all my pies from now on.
Strawberry-rhubarb is my husband’s favorite, so I was excited when rhubarb showed up in the produce section this week and I could make this for him for Father’s Day. Also, I love my new camera 😍.

Yum! Strawberry rhubarb is one of my favorites too. What kind of thickener did you use? I have been using Tapioca starch lately, and I am pretty happy with the results. The cut-outs do look really cool. I did that for the first time last year with a pumpkin pie. I baked them separately on a cookie sheet, and then added them to the pie after baking. I think with a pumpkin pie they would otherwise sink into the custard.
