Rhubarb Bars 3c. diced rhubarb (you may substitute any fruit blend for this. I have made it with mixed frozen fruit in the winter, just add a little more cornstarch) 1 1/2c. sugar 1/4c. water 4T. cornstarch mix together and cook until thickened. add 1t. vanilla.stir it in and set aside. in a separate bowl mix: 1 1/2 c. oatmeal 1c. brn sugar 1c. soft butter 1 1/2c flour 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2-1 c.chopped nuts if desired mix until crumbly set aside 1/4th if the mixture place remaining mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. spread around and pat in gently. pour rhubarb sauce over this and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake @ 375* for about 35min. My friend gave me a taste of this after she came for some rhubarb one day. I loved it. I hope you do too!
Excuse me for asking, but I need to make certain. 1c is one cup? And 1t is one tablespoon or one tespoon? The degrees are F of course. I guess your cup is the American cup. The English cup's a bit larger.
Droopy, 1c is 1cup and the american cup is 8 ounces/250ml 1t is teaspoon, 1T is tablespoon The temperature is F, I don't know how your stove measures the heat but that converts to 190c
Toni, thanks for clarifying this, I should have added the conversion measurements when I posted this. Sorry Droopy. This is excellent with strawberries added in.
Nice recipe but I ate all my rhubarb. What other kind of fruit can be used? Just strawberries maybe? Farmer brown had strawberries out on the table this morning. Jerry
Hi Jerry, I used a bag of frozen mixed fruit( I think raspberries, strawberries and blueberries) from aldi's for it last winter, It worked fine, I just added another tablespoon of cornstarch. Frozen fruit seems to make more liquid than fresh when you cook it..
Thanks for the conversion Toni. The F/C conversion is the easiest to do, but I get very confused about cups, spoons and teaspoons. Don't worry Carolyn, we always get it sorted somehow.
