Aimie, I buy my rhubarb at FTI Taguig from Mary, near the front entrance or at Salcedo market. They are RARELY available, but a pleasant surprise to find. Rhubarb crumble should be quite easy to make, if you can find the fresh rhubarb.

Strawberries give me a joyous feeling! I’m sorry that you had a less than joyous experience while you were gathering the ingredients for your pies… :( However, I must add that the pics of your pies really make me feel happy! The colors are so bright! Thanks for sharing this! :D

Farida: you have to try adding mixed berries with the rhubarb and apples! It will exude a lot of liquid so I add some blitzed tapioca (not a lot!) together with the flour as thickener.

One easy way to make flaky pie crust is to use frozen butter. Grate it over the flour either manually or with a food processor. Saw that done on the Asian Food Channel.

MM, beautiful pies. I, too, have one rhubarb plant. I remember one year I made the mistake of making strawberry-rhubarb pie and sitting next to it at the table, as I ate almost the whole 10 inch pie. Very embarrassed when others asked where the pie went.
at Bettyq, we still have to get together. Please tell me when. Am really looking forward to meeting you. Must try adding apples next time.
