Erica's West Virginia Special

We spent Saturday night over at Paradise Ridge (Linda's late brother Jimmy's place on Flat Mountain) where Erica and Linda took the opportunity to harvest a little rhubarb for one of my favorites... Erica's Rhubarb-Apple Pie. Rhubarb is considered a vegetable and it grows similar to celery. Interestingly enough (and importantly) the leaves are poisonous but the stalks are edible. It is tart and sour in taste but is a beautiful ruby color with green leaves. Even after several searches, Erica has never really found a recipe that she found to be perfect so she has perfected her own taking a little here and a little there. Below you'll see some pictures of what was soon to be a delicious dessert.

 

 

 

There would be pictures of the process, but E's recipe is Top Secret!!
