Rhubarb and Strawberry Pie

Rhubarb and strawberries could be found in most gardens and we can make many different desserts, jams, syrups out of them.

Sift flour through the sieve into the bowl. Add sugar and salt and mix it well.
Cut refrigerated margarine into smaller cubes and add it to dry ingredients.

Add ice cold water and start kneading. Knead the dough as fast as possible, not to add too much flour.
Wrap the dough in a plastic bag and place it in the fridge for at least one hour.
Cut strawberries into smaller pieces and put them in a pan or saucepan.

Add sugar and vanilla extract and cook it with a lid on until it jams, about 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally not to burn it.

Transfer it to a jar and set aside.
For frangipane cream, mix together softened margarine, powdered sugar and almond flour.
When the cream thickens, add apple sauce and stir it in.
Peel the rhubarb stalks.

Cut them into about 6 cm pieces with 45° angle.

In a pan, mix 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 30 ml of water.

Bring it to boil, place in rhubarb pieces and simmer for about 3 minutes.
Place the refrigerated dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it about 3 mm thick.
