This rhubarb custard pie is sweetened with fresh strawberries and a rich homemade custard. It is one of the most delicious and easiest pie recipes I know. I got this wonderful recipe from my mother Pauline, who I believe got it from my Aunt Angela. I love all their pies, but this might be my favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 , 9 inch
- 3 cups rhubarb , sliced 1/4-inch thick

Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, flour, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Slowly pour filling over rhubarb mixture until it just reaches the top edge of the crust. Scatter diced butter evenly over the top of the filling. Lightly tap and shake the baking sheet to remove any air bubbles.
