Rhubarb and Pineapple Pie

I don't care for pineapple so left it out. The pie is delicious, but very soupy. Had to eat it like pudding with a spoon. When I make it again, more cornstarch will have to be added and maybe less butter.

Hi Dianne,

If you leave out the pineapple, there would be too much liquid for the quantity of fruit. If you want to leave out the pineapple next time, try adding an equivalent amount of rhubarb.
