Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Wash the rhubarb, trim the ends, and slice into 1/2-inch pieces to yield about 3 1/2 cups.
  3. Arrange the rhubarb slices evenly in the bottom of the uncooked 9-inch pie shell.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, cloves, and cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Add the evaporated milk and melted butter to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the rhubarb in the pie shell.
  7. Bake at 400ðF (204ðC) for 25 minutes, or until the crust begins to set and the filling bubbles slightly.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 375ðF (190ðC) and continue baking for another 25 minutes.
  9. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover the pie with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
