RECIPE: Strawberry Rhubarb Slab Pie

This pie isn't very different from a traditional strawberry rhubarb pie, but since we're using a baking sheet with raised edges, it's big enough to feed a huge crowd. Not to mention that this recipe uses fresh ingredients to create a perfect combination sweet and tart. Try making this for your next big gathering!​
