2 1/2 c Fresh strawberries; hulled
-and halved
2 c Chopped fresh rhubarb
1 c Sugar
1/3 c Cornstarch
1/2 ts Grated orange rind

Fit 1 of the piecrusts into a 9-inch pie plate, according to the package
directions. Fold the edges under and crimp them. Prick the bottom and sides
with a fork. Bake at 425F for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to
400F.

In a large bowl, stir together the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar,
cornstarch, orange rind and orange liqueur. Pour the mixture into the baked
pastry shell.

Roll the remaining piecrust to a 1/8-inch thickness, then cut into
1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the
filling. Dampen the ends with water and seal the edges.

Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350F and
bake for another 25 minutes. Shield the edges with aluminum foil during the
last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning.

Makes 1 pie.
