Raspberry Rhubarb Pie is a fresh fruit pie with a brilliant red color. The raspberries and rhubarb are a perfect pairing enhanced by a bit of orange zest and a splash of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Raspberries and Rhubarb
The sweetness of raspberries along with the tartness of rhubarb is a perfect match. Strawberries and rhubarb are a more well known pairing, but raspberries and rhubarb is a combination you don’t want to miss. This pie is a summertime favorite.
Key ingredients
A complete list of ingredients and measurements is available below! Just scroll to the bottom!
- Fresh rhubarb
- Fresh raspberries
- An orange – for zest and juice
- Unbaked pie crust – make your own or buy a premade crust
- Sugar
- Flour – for thickening pie
To make the filling
A complete list of instructions is available below! Just scroll to the bottom!
- Add chopped rhubarb to a bowl and cover with sugar.
- Let rhubarb sit for 15-30 minutes until sugar has dissolved and juice has formed
- Add orange zest and orange juice
- Sprinkle in flour a little at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Gently fold in raspberries
- Add to pie tin lined with an unbaked pie crust
How to make a lattice crust
I added a lattice crust to this pie, but you could also add a solid crust too. Just be certain to cut a few slits in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Roll out pie dough and cut into evenly sized strips
- Place one strip across the center of the pie
- Add another strip creating a “t” in the center of the pie
- Continue adding one strip at a time alternating direction
- To create the lattice (over under pattern) gently lift every other strip and then lay the strips back down
Tips for making
- Don’t omit the orange! It’s a small amount but it really adds a nice balance to the flavors.
- If adding a solid top crust, slice a few vents in the top to allow the steam to escape while baking.
- Bake pie on a baking sheet to catch any overflow juices.
- Allow pie to cool before eating.

July 31, 2020 at 4:27 pmAs you said, it’s common (or more so) to see rhubarb with strawberries, but I love this introduction to having it with raspberries. And I’m wondering why this isn’t done more often. Such a tasty combination! And so pretty. 🙂 ~Valentina
