1/4 cup sugar |
2 egg whites, beaten |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups rhubarb, washed,dried and cut into 1 inch chunks |
1 1/2 cups pitted canned sour cherries, drained |
1 cup zucchini, cut into 1 inch chunks |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
5 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
2 envelopes gelatin powder |

2. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick vegetable spray.
3. Spread the rice mixture evenly over bottom and sides of pan, pressing lightly with fingertips or the back of a spoon to shape into a crust.
4. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes; cool to room temperature.
5. For the filling, put the rhubarb in a saucepan with the zucchini, cherries, sugar, honey and 2 tablespoons orange juice and cinnamon; simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until rhubarb and zucchini are tender; taste for tartness and add more honey or sugar as needed.
6. Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of orange juice in a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder over juice; let soak a few minutes to soften.
7. Turn the cooked rhubarb mixture into food processor (or use an immersion blender) and puree; return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer.
8. Pour gelatin into the hot puree and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, let cool to room temperature and then turn out into the crust.
