Another Labor Day recipe for those family gatherings is Rhubarb Pie.  The recipe is below

We had extra Rhubarb this spring so we decided to make a pie and pair it with fresh strawberries. It was wonderful and we shared it with many family and friends which is the real reason for cooking. Not to just eat but to build and nurture relationships.

¼ cup flour
