(Alton Brown from Food Network)
Ingredients:
9 ½ oz. all purpose flour ( about 2 c.)
2 Tbsp. sugar, plus 1 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. grated lime zest
1 tsp. salt, plus ¼ tsp.
4 ½ oz. unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 ½ oz. lard, chilled and cut into pieces
1 ½ oz. ice water (about 3 Tbsp.)
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 pound rhubarb, chopped into ½ to 1 inch pieces
1 pound sliced peaches, peel on and sliced into ½ to 1 inch pieces
1 Tbsp. lime juice
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch any drippings. Butter a 9-inch dish and set aside.
Place the flour, 1 oz. sugar, lime zest and 1 tsp. salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times. Add the butter and lard and pulse until the mixture just becomes crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture with ice water a little at a time and process just until the dough holds together when squeezed in a fist. Place the dough into a 1 gallon zip top bag and form into a disk. Place the dough into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, while you prepare the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Stir in the rhubarb, peaches and lime juice.
Remove 1/3 of the dough from the bag, pinch into pieces and distribute evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. With the remaining dough still in the bag, roll it out to a sheet large enough to cover the top of the dish. Pour the fruit mixture into the dish and top with the dough that was rolled, pressing the dough into the corners of the dish. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and starting to turn golden. * If using frozen fruit, increase cooking time to 90 minutes.
Change the oven setting to broil and continue to cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
