⅓ cup flour                                          
½ tsp grated orange peel                   
pie pastry
2 cups cut-up fresh rhubarb
2 cups strawberries
2 tbsp butter

Heat oven to 425º.  Prepare you pie pastry per instructions.  Mix sugar, flour and orange peel.  Turn half of the rhubarb pieces and strawberries into the pastry lined pie pan.  Sprinkle with half of the sugar mixture.  Repeat with more rhubarb and strawberries, sprinkle with balance of sugar mixture and dot with butter.  Cover the top with pastry and cut slits in the top for vents.  Cover the sealed edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.  Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.  Bake 40-50 minutes until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through the vents
