Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups chopped rhubarb
• 4 cups fresh serviceberries
• 2 (15 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup cornstarch

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press a pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of each of two 8-inch pie plates.

Step 2

Combine rhubarb and 1/2 cup of sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until rhubarb is soft and juice is pooling in the bottom of the bowl, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve.

Step 3

Pour 2 cups rhubarb liquid into a saucepan; add remaining 1 cup sugar and lemon juice. Add serviceberries and rhubarb; cook over medium-high heat until thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Pour into two pie crusts. Top with remaining crusts and cut holes in the top to vent steam. Pinch the edges together to seal.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.
