Celebrating Memorial day with Pie!

Not just any pie. My favorite fruit pie! Strawberry Rhubarb. I grew the rhubarb myself, so I like to think of this pie as super-duper home made. Too bad I had to share with my family today... I could have eaten at least 1/2 of it by myself. ( You think i'm joking?) Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Pie Dough
2 1/4	cups unbleached all-purpose flour , plus extra for dusting
1	teaspoon table salt
2	tablespoons granulated sugar
11	tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into 1/4-inch cubes
7	tablespoons vegetable shortening , chilled
1/3	cup water , chilled with ice, increasing up to 3/8 cup, if needed
Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling
3	cups fresh strawberries , hulled and sliced
3	cups fresh rhubarb , trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4	cup granulated sugar
1	tablespoon grated orange zest
2	teaspoons lemon juice
1/4	teaspoon vanilla extract
4	tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
2	tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into small pieces

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. Mix flour, salt, and sugar in food processor fitted with steel blade. Scatter butter pieces over flour mixture, tossing to coat butter with a little flour. Cut butter into flour with five 1-second pulses. Add shortening and continue to cut it in until flour is pale yellow and resembles coarse cornmeal with butter bits no larger than small peas, about four more 1-second pulses. Turn mixture into medium bowl.
2. 2. Sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon of the ice water over mixture. With blade of rubber spatula, use folding motion to mix. Press down on dough with broad side of spatula until dough sticks together, adding up to 1 tablespoon of remaining ice water if dough does not come together. Divide dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten each into 4-inch-wide disk. Dust lightly with flour, wrap separately in plastic, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
3. 3. Remove dough from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss fruit with sugar, lemon juice and orange zest, vanilla extract, and tapioca; let stand for 15 minutes.
4. 4. Roll larger dough disk on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer and fit dough into 9-inch Pyrex pie pan, leaving dough that overhangs the lip in place. Turn fruit mixture, including juices, into pie shell. Refrigerate until ready to top with remaining dough.
5. 5. Make lattice top out of remaining dough disk. Lay over fruit. Trim top and bottom dough edges to 1/2-inch beyond pan lip. Tuck this rim of dough underneath itself so that folded edge is flush with pan lip and Flute edges.
6. 6. Place pie on baking sheet; bake until top crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake until juices bubble and crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes longer.
7. 7. Transfer pie to wire rack; let cool to almost room temperature so juices have time to thicken, from 1 to 2 hours.
