One Scrumptious Way to use up some Rhubarb

  Ah Rhubarb..........once famously known as "pie plant" to many of our fore-bearers, and now almost extinct in different parts of the country and many palates in our lovely country.

   After Mulberry, this is very much my Handy Hubby's Favorite fruit to insert into anything. I have been quite happy this last year with the new Strawberry Rhubarb jam we made, and have decided to branch out a little this coming year and make rhubarb chutney (a type of relish) for hotdogs just for that amazing man.
   But today, just to get a good post up and to bless the hearts of those almost too busy right now to properly throw together a pie, I decided to post my Impossibly Easy Blender Custard Pie---with , you guessed it, Rhubarb added in.
   Enjoy! Dont forget to add the sprinkled Cinnamon on top right before you bake, because it adds a wonderful touch and aroma as this amazingly easy pie bakes. :)

Impossibly Easy Blender Custard Pie

2 1/2 cups milk

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup flour

1 tsp vanilla

1 stick butter/coconut oil

3/4 cup coconut

1 cup diced rhubarb (optional)

Put eggs, butter and sugar into blender and blend on low for about 15 seconds,

 add remaining ingredients and puree until very well mixed. 

Pour into a greased 9" pie pan.

(I actually made it in my largest pie pan as it makes extra,

 but you can just make it into two pies if you want.)

Bake at 325* for 45 minutes after sprinkling the top of the pie with 

cinnamon or nutmeg. This will make its own crust and is 

one of the easiest pies I rely on during summer months.

   There are so many different things you can do with this recipe that I had to share. We have had it cooled in the summer covered with whatever berries are available and ripe. We have added pumpkin in the fall for a pie that is custard-y and pumpkin-y all at the same time, without being similar to pumpkin pie at Christmas.

   I hope that you enjoy this! It has been raining for two days here, dropping hail three different times last night, so I am praying for the garden and those tender plants, leaving them in the hands of the Lord. We have had 3 inches of rain in 24 hours and are slated to get another 2 inches today. As you can imagine things are beginning to really flood, and things to float. :) Praying the sky clears even a little bit so I can get outside and get some carrots in. :)

Many Blessings to you and yours,
