Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I was shopping at Nino Salvaggio's which is the most amazing store ever!! Of course they had strawberries and rhubarb in bushels right next too each other and I thought that a pie would be perfect. Never having had it I ended up pulling my own recipe together from several. I haven't made very many pies but this is SOOOO easy and good. I mean it, it is easy, try it!!

Forgive me I did use a Pillsbury pie crust.

2 cups Rhubarb 1/2" slices
3 cups Strawberries 1/2" slices

Mix with 1/3 cup flour
2/3 cups Splenda
1/3 cup Sugar
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1 tbls lemon juice
Some of the lemon peel
Dot with 1-2 tbls butter

Place bottom crust in 9" pie pan, add the berry mix, dot the butter on top. Place second crust on top and trim crust. Place air vents in the pie and use an egg wash. Bake at 350F for about 60 mins, check every 20 mins. If crust gets to brown cover with tin foil. Allow to cool.
