Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until fruit is evenly coated.
Roll out one pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough from the edges.
Pour the strawberry rhubarb filling into the crust. Dot the filling with butter pieces.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent. Optional: Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
