    4 cups rhubarb, diced
    1 cup red tart cherries, pitted (or 1 (1 lb) can red tart pitted cherries, drained)
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca
    Few drops red food color
    2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    3/4 cup shortening

    Combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles cornmeal. Sprinkle water over mixture; stir ingredients quickly with fork until blended; gather into a ball; divide in half. Roll out one half to a 12-inch circle; fit into 9-inch pie plate. Trim even with edge of pan; moisten edge with cold water.

    Spoon filling into pastry; dot with butter or margarine. Roll out second half of pastry as the first; fold in half; cut designs or slashes in top to vent steam. Place over filling with fold at center; unfold. Trim upper crust 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate, fold edge of top crust under edge of bottom crust. Flute with fingers. For sparkling top, brush top of pie with milk; Sprinkle with sugar.

    Bake in hot oven (425 degrees) 45 to 50 minutes, or until crust is golden.
