Categories: Pie
Yield: 9 Servings

1 1/3	c	Sugar
1/4	c	Quick-cooking tapioca
4	c	Rhubarb; (1/2-inch pieces)
1	c	Fresh or frozen raspberries
2	tb	Lemon juice
		Raspberry vinegar pastry (recipe
		Follows)

In a large bowl, stir together sugar and tapioca. Add rhubarb, raspberries, and lemon juice; mix gently but thoroughly. Let stand 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to soften tapioca; mix gently several times.

On a lightly floured board, roll half the pastry into a 12-inch-diameter round; ease into a 9-inch pie pan. Fill with rhubarb mixture. On floured board, roll remaining pastry into a 10-inch-diameter square. With a pastry wheel or knife, cut into 8 equal strips. Arrange strips on top of pie in lattice pattern; trim off as they lap over rim. Fold bottom crust over lattice, flush with pan rim; flute to seal.

Set pie in a foil-lined 10- by 15-inch pan (pie bubbles as it cooks). Bake in a 400 oven on the lowest rack until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 40 to 50 minutes. If rim begins to darken excessively before filling bubbles, drape with strips of foil.

Serve warm or at room temperature. If made ahead, let cool, then cover loosely and store at room temperature up until next day. Cut into wedges. Makes 8 or 9 Michaela Rosenthal, Woodland Hills, Calif.
