Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine rhubarb, cherries, sugar, tapioca, and food coloring; let stand 15 minutes.
  3. Line a 9-Inch pie plate with one sheet of pastry; pour in filling. Dot with butter; sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.
  4. Top with a lattice crust: From remaining pastry, cut strips of dough 1/2-Inch wide. Lay lengthwise strips on top of filled pie at 1 inch interval's. Fold back alternate strips; fold up as you weave crosswise strips over and under. Trim even along outer rim of pie; seal edges.
  5. Dampen edge of pie slightly with water and place extra strips around entire rim of pie, covering ends of lattice. Flute edge, pressing well to seal. Bake in 400°F oven for 40 - 50 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
  6. Tip: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
