Instructions

Make the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix sliced rhubarb and strawberries. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and toss until the fruits are coated well. Set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.
Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the crust in the pan, pour in the fruit filling, and dot with butter cubes. Roll out the second disc and either place it on top or create a lattice pattern.
Bake: Brush the top crust with egg white for shine. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for at least one hour before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
