Did it! Very nice when still hot, with ice Cream.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh/frozen ripe strawberry halves.
1 1/2+ cups rhubarb fresh/frozen chucks.
1 or less Cup sugar (the cinnamon red-hots add sugar)
( 1/2 tsp salt if wanted-I left it out)
1/4+ tsp Cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
I used 1/2+ cup corn starch mixed with >1/2 flour for filling thickening agent with ~ cup water.(Tapioca and saltine crackers have been used as thickeners, too.)
I pre-cooked together the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, (salt), cinnamon, nutmeg in a large sauce pan with a little water to start the cooking process. Stir and heat until rhubarb is tender, near boiling.
Take cinnamon red hots and cover with water in a small micro-wave bowl and microwave for a minute, take out and stir. Place back in microwave for 15 secs., stir, repeat until totally dissolved. Set aside.
Mix water, Corn starch, and flour with whisk until thoroughly mixed. Now slowly mix in hot melted cinnamon water and stir rapidly. Should thicken, now combine that mix with the cooked strawberry/rhubarb and mix well.
Place the combined mix in pie shell. Cover pie with second raw pie crust and cut vent holes.
Can also cover pie filling with Dutch crumb/crisp type mix.
Bake 45 minutes in lower rack, move to upper rack to brown crust if wanted for 10 minutes.
It was nearly perfect with the ice cream and set-up well..
Hope I got the measurements close enough to replicate my recipe.
