Rhubarb Meringue Pie

Aunt Elaine was my Great Grandmother's sister. Both of these women were known for their pies.  I remember attending the reunion when I was young and all mom's cousins asking if Aunt Bess had brought pie.  I'm pretty sure they were never disappointed!  This one is scrumptious!  If you haven't liked rhubarb before, give it another go!

Aunt Elaine's Rhubarb Pie

Step 1: Cook until tender-

2 1/4 c. rhubarb

1 c. sugar

2 Tbsp. butter

Step 2: Mix and add to rhubarb mixture-
2 Tbsp. heaped cornstarch
2 egg yolks (save the whites)
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream

Add a few drops of red or yellow food coloring.  Pour into unbaked pie shell.  Bake at 400 for 10 min. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30 to 40 min.  Then make a meringue out of the egg whites and put on top of baked pie.  Return to oven and bake a few minutes more.
