We love bumbleberry pie, but where's the rhubarb?! All the bumbleberry pie we had in Canada had rhubarb which makes it perfect for this time of year. Our recipe has 1 cup EACH blueberries, raspberries (we like black), sliced strawberries and chopped rhubarb, plus 2 cups chopped, peeled baking apples. This takes it from "mixed berry" to "bumbleberry"...IMHO.
Susan, indeed, many bumbleberry recipes include rhubarb and/or apple. And I'd wager the "official" bumbleberry pie has those ingredients. But I love the name, and have always applied it to any mixed berry pie - it's such fun to say, compared to "mixed berry," don't you think? :) PJH
