1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1/4 cup shortening, chilled and cut into pieces
2-4 Tbsp. ice-cold water
1 tsp. vinegar (optional, stir it into the water)
2 1/2-3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
2 1/2-3 cups halved, hulled strawberries
1- 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp instant tapioca or cornstarch
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter, cut into bits
1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)
Divide your pastry in half, making once piece slightly larger than the other. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 10″ and fit into a pie plate without stretching. (If you like, line smaller pie plates with pastry for smaller or individual pies.) Preheat the oven to 425F.
In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon zest and juice and vanilla. Pour into the bottom crust and dot with butter.
