Darrington Rhubarb Cream Pie was the other pie in my battle of the Rhubarb Custard Pies. It’s a hearty pie with a thick layer of custard on the bottom, a much more generous pie than the 1941 Lutheran Ladies Pie plus it has almond extract in it for an exotic touch. I love almond extract. It was Coco’s favorite and I enjoyed it a lot, too. I didn’t quite have enough rhubarb, so I supplemented with a cup of strawberries…
