Tammy's Review: 

This is a good dessert, just not my favorite. I thought it was a lot of work to make for the results. (Almost as much work as pies.) I also like my pie crust recipe better than the crust on this one.

If you really like cherries and rhubarb, or you have fresh cherries and rhubarb to use, it's worth making (though, like I said, I could have probably made a pie in the amount of time it took!). To summarize: good, but not "extra good". :D My rating: 9/10

A tangy dessert that is a nice change of pace (7/10)

This recipe has some pros and cons that will impact your opinion one way or the other. You either like it or you don't. I like it. It is a great change of pace. The filling is a pleasantly tart dance of tangy rhubarb and snappu cherries that is a nice contrast to most overly-sweet deserts. It filling also has some density to it with nice chunks of cherries and rhubarb. The crust is slightly thick and tough but the taste is more than acceptible. Overall if you are looking for a different dessert with a lot of flavor give this a try. Top it with Vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
