I came to the sudden realization today, that I haven't done anything with the rhubarb growing in our backyard yet this year! We've only been growing it for the past couple of years, and my rhubarb recipes to date have been limited to ONE. Unfortunately, our rhubarb stalks were quite spindly this year, but that didn't stop me from trying out a new recipe! I wish I had taken a picture of the end result, but by the time I thought of it, the confection had been reduced to mere crumbs by my family.
Alas, here's the recipe that we tried, and LOVED!
Rhubarb Bars
Ingredients:
1 c. flour
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. butter
Filling:
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
Procedure:
Combine flour & powdered sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a greased 11-inch x 7-inch x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. For filling, combine first four ingredients. Stir in rhubarb; pour over warm crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm if desired. Store in refrigerator.
My family LOVED this recipe!
