Lattice Crust
3 cups AP flour
3 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup earth balance margarine
3 Tbs. canola oil
ice cold water
In a large bowl or food processor, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Using two knives, a pastry cutter, or the knife fixture, cut the margarine and oil into the dough until you get large crumbles. Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until a ball forms. Work as quickly as possible and try to keep as many buttery chunks in the dough as possible. Place in a covered container and place in the fridge for at least an hour while you prepare the filling.
Filling
4 cups rhubarb (trimmed and chopped into 1/2 inch chunks)
3 1/2-4 cups strawberries (trimmed and quartered)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl mix all ingredients until combined. Roll 1/2 of your pie dough into a large circle and place in pan. Prick the crust with a fork and fill. Roll out the remainder of the dough and slice into long strips for a lattice top. Sprinkle the lattice with coarse sugar and place in the oven for 1 hour, or until the edges of the crust are browned. Let the pie sit for a number of hours until cooled and solidified.
Enjoy!
