- Stir and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rhubarb breaks down and the strawberries become soft
- The mixture should look like a chunky jam
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, then roll out 1 dough disc into a round that will fit a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and go up the sides
- Lay the dough in the pan and press it gently into the edges
- Add the filling to the pan
- Roll out the second dough disc and cut it into 1-inch strips
- Lay the strips across the top of the pie horizontally, about an inch apart, then layer more strips on top vertically across the pie

- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the lattice is golden and the filling is bubbling
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving
