Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I made this last week and my husband, who swears he hates this kind which is why I made it so I wouldnt have to share, all but inhaled it. I did cheat though and use pillsbury pre-made crust. It was quite yummy!

3 c. cut up rhubarb
1 1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour

1/2 c. lard or 1/2 c. and 1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable shortening
1 1/2 c. flour
Enough ice water to moisten

Toss rhubarb, sugar, and flour in a bowl. Stir in strawberries. Place in pie shell. Dot with butter. Cover with second crust, make vent makes and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
