Description

Tomatillos add a flavor similar to rhubarb in this delicious tomatillo and strawberry pie perfect for summer evenings.

Ingredients

1 pastry for 9-inch double crust pie
3 cups sliced ripe tomatillos
3 cups sliced strawberries
1/4 cup instant tapioca
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, or more to taste
3 tablespoons butter, sliced

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
2 Stir tomatillos, strawberries, tapioca, sugar, and lemon juice together in a bowl; let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 15 minutes. Spoon tomatillo-strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Scatter butter slices over filling.
3 Cover pie with second pie crust and pinch edges together to seal. Cut slits into top crust for ventilation. Place pie on a baking sheet.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes.
