Gluten Free Blueberry Rhubarb Pie, better than strawberry rhubarb pie. Blueberries + Rhubarb. Great combination.
Blueberry Rhubarb Pie is bodacious. Who needs strawberries???
Gluten free blueberry rhubarb pie is a unique & tasty combo.
Did you know that May is Eat Dessert First Month? My favorite month. You’re gonna love this recipe. Gluten Free Blueberry Rhubarb Pie is simply sweet and tangy deliciousness. Tasty, especially with a Gluten Free Shortbread Pie Crust. Of course, you could make it with a Traditional Pie Crust, but then it won’t be gluten free.
Got Rhubarb?
When I was growing up, the old homestead had a rhubarb patch in one corner of the yard by the back fence. I’m not sure which generation planted it. It was a modest patch because, as the newer plants came in, we would pull out the older, tougher ones.
Mom cooked rhubarb in a variety of ways, such as pies, jams, puddings, crisps and cakes. We also ate it raw, dipped in sugar (the original Sour Patch candy).
Brilliant Combination
Lois and I picked up a bunch of rhubarb from 2 Pond Farm recently because I have been craving my favorite rhubarb treat: pie. Since we had blueberries that needed to be used, I mixed the blueberries with the rhubarb for this Gluten Free Blueberry Rhubarb Pie. The combination of blueberries and rhubarb is fantastic.
A slice of Gluten Free Blueberry Rhubarb Pie is so tasty.
Benefits of Rhubarb and Blueberries
Did you know rhubarb is good for preventing osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s Disease, fighting inflammation, ridding your body of free radicals, and aiding in digestion? The green leaves are poisonous, so don’t eat those, but the red stalks are packed with vitamins and other nutrients to help your bones, brain and digestion. What a powerhouse!
And blueberries are great cancer-fighters.
Pie Crust Options
I didn’t include how to make the pie crust in the recipe, but here are a few options. When making a gluten free pie, I prefer the Gluten Free Shortbread Pie Crust and Lois likes the Sweet Gluten Free Pie Crust best. If you don’t need gluten free foods, you may prefer our Traditional Pie Crust.
What You Need
We love our pie plate from Elizabeth Krome, Quail Run Pottery, but any 10-inch pie plate will work for this recipe. Of course, you won’t eat your pie all in one sitting so you’ll need a pie keeper. And you’ll need COFFEE with your pie so get yourself one of those two-way coffeemakers.

I dont see flour listed in ingredients for the blueberry rhubarb pie. How much do we use?
Hi Apryl,
I’m sorry we missed it in the ingredients. Thanks for pointing that out! I fixed it. Don uses about 2 tablespoons of flour (if not making it gluten free) or cornstarch to thicken the pie.
