The Edwards campaign is offering a "slice of the pie" if you contribute to his campaign. I thought you might like my recipe for a strawberry-rhubarb tart, no contribution required:
Crust: 2 cups flour
1 stick butter (8tbls)
2 tbls sugar
2 tbls shortening
pinch salt
ice water
Filling: 2 cups cored & sliced strawberries
2 cups 1/2in diced rhubarb
3-4 tbls minute tapioca
1/4 cup sugar
lemon juice to taste
Preheat oven at 375F. Put dry ingredients into food processor, pulse until mixed well. Add cubes of butter and shortening while pulsing until mix is just crumbly. Slowly add ice water while processing until dough begins to pull away from sides of bowl. Pour out and knead by hand for about a minute. Do over knead or dough will be tough. Form ball and refrigerate while making filling. Mix fruit together in large bowl with sugar. Add tapioca depending on how firm you want your tart. (I like my firm.) Add a little lemon juice to taste. A few drops of vanilla extract is optional. Allow fruit to macerate for 15 minutes. Roll out dough into 10" tart pan with removable bottom. Fill crust evenly with fruit mixture. Bake approximately 45-50 minutes until filling is set and crust is gbd (golden brown and delicious). Cool on rack and serve a la mode.
