Rhubard Custard Pie


After an early morning trip to pick up coffee and newspapers, I decided to make a pie. This recipe is from my Aunt Martha. Of course, there's no rhubarb right now, so I substituted frozen cranberries for that tart flavor.

Beat 3 eggs slightly; beat in 3 T milk. Set aside. Combine 1 c sugar, 1/4 c flour, 1/2 t nutmeg, and a dash of salt. Cut in 1 T butter. Stir in egg/milk mixture and 4 c fruit. Turn into unbaked pie shell and bake 50-60 minutes at 400 until filling is set.

This pie is beautiful. The cranberries look like shiny jewels. I wish our camera was charged so I could have taken a picture before cutting a slice.
