I already made pie crust from the Tenderflake lard recipe. I use the filling recipe from the link above. 


Filling:

5 cups chopped rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

3 cups strawberries, halved

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup cornstarch 


Bake at 425°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is set and beginning to brown. Lower the oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until the pastry is a deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling throughout, 35 to 40 minutes longer.
