Who'd have thought of putting bananas in a rhubarb pie? I wouldn't have, until I saw this recipe at The Rhubarb Compendium. I had everything it called for on hand, so I just had to give it a try.
It's delicious! The bananas make it very sweet and almost tropical. I'm sure I'll be making this pie again!

I've never had rhubarb. The sound of it scares me. In fact, I don't even know what it looks like... I asked Tom was kind of fruit it was, and he giggled at me!!
I giggled at you too. :)
*giggling with both of you* Rhubarb scares me too. For some reason it is stuck in my head that it is something yucky that my grandmother fixed along with mince meat pie, beef tongue and pigs feet. Iiiccccckkkkk. After all those things there was no way I was trusting grammy when it came to rhubarb. lol
Both of you are making me LOL!
Sheila, there's a picture of rhubarb at the bottom of the linked page in the post. It looks like red celery. Kind of.
Lisa, look at your comment...I know it's supposed to be an uppercase "I" on the word "iiiccccckkk", but it looks like an "L". Yummmm! ;)
