What to do when you have lots of rhubarb leftover but not quite enough to fill a second Rhubarb Pie? Why, you find what fruit you have in the freezer and you use that. Cranberries it is! I was a bit hesitant to use a second tart fruit in this pie, thinking it might be overpowering. But, friends, believe you me…this pie is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Perfectly sweet, perfectly tart, perfectly set (no juices flowing all over the pie plate.)
