This delicious recipe has been generously shared by our Lovefoodies friend Vickie.
Vickie tells me she often makes up recipes from what she has in her pantry, and this lovely pie is no exception! It went down a storm with her family and so she decided to share it with us at Lovefoodies.
Thanks very much, Vickie for sharing.
Recipe by Vickie Butler

"Yesterday I pulled some of my rhubarb and asked my husband if he wanted pie or crumb cake.

Normally I make Royal Rhubarb pie...which is like a rhubarb custard type of pie...but he said that a strawberry or raspberry rhubarb pie would be good. Sigh...so, I took an inventory of what I had on hand and ended up with this creation.

Normally when I cook on the fly it's a one time only creation. But this was so easy that I could actually wrote it down for a repeat performance in the future.

I've also made the same recipe but used strawberries instead of raspberries and rhubarb and that was a hit too!"

  1. Looks delicious. As a Brit trying to use an American recipe, can you tell me if cornstarch is the same as cornflour over here? Also, your jello mix, is this powdered? We don’t have it in that format, apart from diet versions. Can you tell me what quantity in mls or fl.oz a packet makes up so I can work out how much to use over here. Thanks

    1. Hi Cos, I am also a Brit, (living in Holland just to confuse things!!)
      Cornstarch is cornflour.
      Jello Mix is the same as Robinsons jelly (powder) sachets. They usually come in sachets of different flavours. For this recipe you need to use 170g of the jelly powder, so please take a look at the weights of the packages in the shop to calculate how many packages you need to buy in weight. There’s no need to calculate from volume of liquid needed to make the jelly as we are only using it in powdered form.
      This is quite a sweet dessert compared to UK desserts so you may want to reduce the sugar amount in the recipe by a third.

      I hope this helps!

    Was I surprised when I saw my friend VickiE’s picture on this site. What drew me was the beautiful dessert. So I tried it…. Don’t know what I did different, other than only use 1 C Rhubarb and 4 C Strawberries. I ended up with two pies and just a bit left over. I didn’t have room to swirl because my pies were to full. Today is test day. Ladies are coming for a craft day and I am serving the wonderful Strawberry Rhubarb swirl. Thanks VickiE!
