Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place egg yolks into a large bowl; place egg whites in a separate glass or metal bowl.
Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
Spread rhubarb into bottom of crust.
Whisk 1 cup sugar, half-and-half, flour, and salt into egg yolks until smooth.
Pour mixture over rhubarb.
Bake in the preheated oven until pie crust is browned and filling is set, 50 to 60 minutes.
Beat egg whites until stiff using an electric mixer; gradually beat 1/4 cup sugar and cream of tartar into egg whites to make a glossy meringue. Spoon meringue over pie filling, going right to the edge of the crust and covering all the filling. Use a spoon or spatula to make decorative swirls in the meringue.
Return pie to oven and bake until meringue is lightly browned, 10 more minutes. Best served slightly warm.
Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce
Pie works really well with Vin Santo, Late Harvest Riesling, and Lambrusco Dolce. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
Vineyards Late Harvest Riesling
Pale yellow in color, the nose opens with aromas of fresh pineapple, juicy nectarine and citrus notes. The wine fully coats the palate expressing vibrant flavors of orange blossom, tart granny smith apple and honeycomb. A long finish displays the perfect balance of sweetness and mouth-watering acidity, inviting another sip.
