      Title: Rhubarb Custard Pie
 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Citrus, Dairy
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1    (9") pie crust

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
  3 1/4 c  Rhubarb (1 lb); in 1/2" pcs
      3 tb All-purpose flour
    3/4 c  Sugar *
           Zest from 1 large orange **
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts Salt
      2 lg Eggs; room temp
    1/3 c  Heavy whipping cream ***
      1 ts Vanilla extract
 
  When ready to assemble pie: Set oven @ 375°F/190°C.
  
  Roll out your pastry: Roll your pie crust into a 12"
  circle. Drape it over a 9" pie plate. Tuck the edges
  under and crimp it, so it looks pretty. Return it to
  the fridge.
  
  PREPARE FILLING: Whisk flour, sugar, orange zest,
  cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk eggs,
  heavy cream, and vanilla in another medium bowl. Add the
  wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to
  combine. Add the rhubarb and fold together with a
  spatula.
  
  ASSEMBLE THE PIE: Pour the filling into the crust.
  Smooth the top with a spatula.
  
  BAKE THE PIE: Put the pie on a cookie sheet to protect
  your oven from spillovers. Fold aluminum foil in half
  and create a cover just around the edges of the pie
  crust, leaving the filling exposed.
  
  Place the pie in the oven. Remove the foil halfway
  through the baking time. Bake until the custard is fully
  set, without a jiggle, and the crust is golden brown,
  about 45 minutes.
  
  COOL: Let cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about
  45-50 min.
  
  SERVE: Serve this pie slightly warm, cold, or at room
  temperature. Dust with powdered sugar just before
  serving. Store leftovers covered and in the refrigerator
  for up to 3 days.
  
  * Use 1/2 cup sugar if you like it more tart (like me)
  or increase to a full cup for the sugar freaks. The
  3/4 cup call out is a compromise - UDD
  
  ** As long as you're zesting a fresh orange why not
  use the juice for part of the water in the crust?
  It's a neat trick - UDD
  
  *** I have made this with 2% and got an OK result. But
  you should use at least Half & Half or ideally 40% BF
  whipping cream. - UDD
