My Strawberry Rhubarb creations, recipes below

Its that time of the year when people plant Rhubarb which represents the earliest fruit of one's kitchen garden. I make allot of strawberry Rhubarb pie and pastries in the early part of the summer. The origins of Rhubarb date back to China in 2700 BC when the Chinese cultivated Rhubarb for medicinal use. The Italian botanist Prosper Alpinus introduced the more popular edible species to Europe in 1608. People did not recognize it as a food plant and cultivate it as such until 1750 in Germany. Europeans introduced rhubarb first to the New England region in the 1820s where it became a popular ingredient for pastry and pie fillings. Sometime in the nineteenth century it made its way south and became very popular among southerners. I remember that my grandma Lucy Opie, originally from Virginia made a great strawberry Rhubarb pie. Like her, I don’t measure ingredients when creating so I provided some recipes below.
