This recipe for old-fashioned rhubarb custard pie comes from my neighbor Hulda. I can’t remember if this is a family recipe or one from her church’s cookbook, I’ll have to ask.
Hulda made this old-fashioned rhubarb custard pie and everyone loved it. Even the HH. 🙂
Rhubarb is awesome!! And crazy delicious in a custard pie. Perfect for potlucks or Sunday dinners. I highly recommend this recipe.

Mavis, This recipe is identical to the one in my mother’s Betty Crocker cookbook, published in the 40s. Of all the rhubarb pie recipes, this is the one I have always liked the best. Do you or any of your readers have the recipe for Rhubarb Rolly-Polly? It was published in an old Yankee Magazine, when they did a “recipe with a history” column. I’ve searched their database, nothing. Have moved too many times, and just can’t find it. Would love to have it again!

We had a rhubarb plant when I was growing up, we never harvested it because none of us knew when or how to use it. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

When we were kids my Mom would chop up the rhubarb and cook it down and serve like applesauce…and then during strawberry season it was all about strawberry/rhubarb pie…yummy. I have since had raspberry/rhubarb pie…don’t know why we didn’t try that one before..guess no one thought of it

Hi Mavis, as rhubarb season is now over I wondered if your recipe would work with frozen rhubarb??
Bill says
Yes…… drain and thaw the frozen rhubarb!
