Rhubarb Pie

You might want to add some red food coloring to the rhubarb if your rhubarb isn't red. My rhubarb doesn't turn red. Eric commented that the pie looked like green bean pie. So if you don't want yours to look like green bean pie, you might want to add some red food coloring! It tasted great though!
