Now that the rhubarb is on, here is a recipe I thought perhaps you would enjoy.
Rhubarb Custard Pie
Have an unbaked pie shell ready. Then mix in a bowl, two large eggs (beaten), one full cup of white sugar, two tablespoons of butter, three tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, two teaspoons of vanilla, four tablespoons of milk. Beat all ingredients. Have three cups of cut up rhubarb in another bowl and then pour the custard over the rhubarb and stir it all up and put in the unbaked pie shell. Start at 400° for 15 minutes and then turn down to 350° for 35 minutes or so until the custard is set.
