My Designer Pie!

My freehand shamrock!

My pie crust design above, I'm starting to get creative!

Below, is my "masterpiece" out of the oven!

My home smelled wonderful!

So I baked a strawberry rhubarb pie for St. Patricks Day weekend!  I got a little adventurous and did a little design on my pie crust!   I thought it came out pretty cute!  I even free-hand cut the shamrock!  What do you think?  I love how golden this crust looks too, all I did was an egg wash, maybe it was because I used farm fresh eggs.

The strawberries were from California, the rhubarb was from my garden.  I couldn't use the rhubarb fast enough over the summer so I froze it!  I have to tell you, it freezes nicely.  I need to make room in my freezer too, so this may be on the Easter dessert table!  Yes, I have that much rhubarb in my freezer!

Hope you can stop by for a slice!
