I could use some cooking advice. Yesterday I made 2 beautiful rhubarb pies. When I cut them they were full of liquid. I had added no liquid to my ingredients of rhubarb, flour, sugar and butter. Anyone know why or what to do about this problem?

Did you use a thickener? rhubarb can be up to 95% water and if you wash it without drying well you are adding more water - tapioca or cornstarch would help as a thickener
