1/2 tsp. grated orange peel, optional
2 c. cut up fresh rhubarb
2 c. fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
2 tbsp. butter

Repeat with blueberries and remaining sugar mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust which has slits cut in it. Sprinkle with sugar. Seal and flute edges.

This is a fantastic pie. The bit of orange flavoring is what sets this pie apart. I can't wait to make it again.

I am not a great baker but decided to try this pie because I had rhubarb I needed to use. One of my dinner guests said this was the best pie he's had in ten years and we live very close to the amish who make incredible pies! It was super easy, inexpensive, fast, and delicious. I would say the orange isn't optional though as the flavor is really what made the pie so fantastic. Amazing.

This pie is amazing. I've made it a few times now and get rave reviews every time. It is so easy and comes out perfect. I made it this weekend with 1 cup blueberries and 1 cup strawberries bc I was short on blueberries. It came out even more delicious. It is hard to mess this pie up, it is perfect!

This is really good. I did a crumble topping with flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and butter. If I didn't burn it, I'm sure it would have been even more fantastic. Would like to try this with the gingerale crust recipe (super fluffy), but was too lazy today.

I wanted to make strawberry rhubarb, but there was only fresh blueberries at the farmer's market and with my rhubarb growing out of control I tried this recipe. To my surprise this turned out to be the best pie I've ever made and my family raved (and they are harsh critics)!! I did add a bit of cinnamon, grated lemon peel and lemon juice but this is a great recipe. I'll be making this pie for years to come.

Having not enough blueberries on hand, I decided to combine them with rhubarb and found this recipe. Superb! It's easy to make, and oh so delicious. My mom is 94 and declared it the best pie she has ever had. I feel the same. It's best in the first 24 hours but plenty good thereafter.

My daughter just made this pie and it is wonderful! Far better than strawberry-rhubarb.
