Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Filling (2 Ways: No-Cook and Easy 5 Minute Cooked Recipe)
Description
The Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Filling recipe provides two preparation options using equal portions of chopped rhubarb and cubed strawberries combined with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. The no-cook method mixes these ingredients directly to create a filling ready to be baked in pies, cobblers, or crisps. The cooked method gently boils the mixture until the cornstarch thickens the juices, producing a glossy, thick sauce that can be served as a topping on pancakes, ice cream, or desserts. The balance of tart and sweet flavors comes from the rhubarb’s natural acidity and added sugar, adjusted to taste. This filling offers versatility depending on whether you prefer a fresh fruit texture or a softened, saucy consistency.
Both versions emphasize the importance of matching the strawberry pieces with rhubarb size for even cooking or baking. The cooked filling should be heated only briefly to maintain fruit integrity and avoid overcooking.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup sugar (more or less as desired)
- 3 tsp corn starch
- 1 lb rhubarb (chopped)
- 1 lb strawberry hulled and cut into pieces about the same size as the rhubarb, whole
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Raw strawberry rhubarb pie filling:
- Put the chopped fruit into a large bowl. Mix the corn starch and sugar in a small bowl.
- Toss the sugar mixture into the chopped strawberries and rhubarb along with the lemon juice.
- Use as required in your pie, cobbler, crisp, crumble or other baked goods. (CONTINUE BELOW FOR COOKED FILLING RECIPE.)
Cooked strawberry rhubarb pie filling:
- Place the mixture into a pot over medium heat, then increase as the fruit begins to cook.
- Bring to a boil and stir gently until the corn starch thickens the sauce and then remove from heat immediately. Do not cook for more than a few minutes.
- Use as desired, such as a topping for pancakes, desserts, cheesecake, ice cream, etc. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity to achieve your preferred sweetness level.
