Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Originated in England where rhubarb was paired with sweet strawberries in the 18th–19th centuries to balance tartness with sugar. Pioneer settlers carried seeds and recipes westward during 19th-century expansion. In Wyoming, hardy rhubarb thrived in high-plains gardens, becoming a beloved spring dessert in ranch kitchens and cafes, blending English roots with American frontier foodways.
