Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie - 6 points

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pie

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
--Flaky Pastry Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons skim milk
--Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling
3/4 pound fresh strawberries
3/4 pound rhubarb
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch salt
1 large egg white -- lightly beaten
--Streusel Topping
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola oil

TO MAKE CRUST: Working directly in a 9 inch pie plate, stir flour, sugar and salt together with a fork. Drizzle oil and milk over the flour mixture and lightly toss with fingertips or a fork until crumbly. With the back of a spoon, pat dough into the plate, taking care not to build up a thick layer in the corners. Press a floured fork onto the sides of the crust to crimp. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (the crust can be prepared ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
TO MAKE FILLING: Place a biking sheet on a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, flour, nutmeg and salt. Toss well to thoroughly coat the fruit with flour. Brush the reserved pie shell with a little egg white. Spoon the filling into the pie shell and set aside.
TO MAKE TOPPING AND BAKE PIE: In a small bowl, stir flour, oats and brown sugar together with a fork. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter and oil into the flour mixture until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the pie and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

24 ounces strawberries
1 2.1 oz package sugar-free cook and serve vanilla pudding
1 4 oz package sugar free strawberry flavored gelatin
2 cups water
fat free or light cool whip for garnish

1. Rinse and hull strawberries. Distribute evenly in a 10 inch pie pan.
2. In a medium saucepan combine pudding mix, jello, and water. Stir well and bring to a full boil. Por mixture over strawberries and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Top with whip cream and ENJOY!

My buddy made it for me--she is also doing 123..and says it's 8 for the whole pie. I believed her and counted each slice as a point (whip cream extra) but I haven't made it on my own yet and count up the points. I will soon though. I am starting to rotate this with the crustless pumpkin pie as dessert because pie is my weakness (pie and soup--my favorite foods).

Help! I just got some rhubarb from my neighbor and I'm looking for something (healthy) to fix with it. Any ideas?!?

Thanks in advance.

I like to stew it. Can't remember which site I got it from but remember it is 2 points per serving which I think is 1/2 cup.

Stewed Rhubarb
4 cups rhubarb cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
grated rind of 1 orange.

Dissolve sugar in water & heat to a boiling. Add rhubarb & reduce heat to medium. Cook until softened...I like to keep some pieces fairly intact. Stir in orange rind and enjoy.
