Go Anywhere Rhubarb Squares


 
 
 
These squares are great!  Tart from the rhubarb but just sweet enough with a buttery shortbread crust.  Here is the link to the original recipe.  http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/go-anywhere-rhubarb-squares/Detail.aspx
 
Go Anywhere Rhubarb Squares
Ingredients:
Crust
1 c. flour
1/3 c. icing sugar
1/3 c. butter or marg
Filling
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
 
Crust
Combine flour & icing sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.Press into the bottom of a greased 9x9 baking pan. Bake at 350F for 12 minutes.
Filling
Combine first four ingredients. Stir in rhubarb; pour over warm crust.


Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

 
Cool on wire rack. Serve warm if desired. 


Since we really like these squares, I freeze rhubarb so I can make them during the winter.  I chop the rhubarb into small cubes and freeze the 3 cups needed for one recipe in a freezer bag.  I mix it up with the rhubarb frozen and it turns out great.  You may have to cook it a little longer with frozen rhubarb but no other adjustments need to be made.  Enjoy! :)

  2. Just remember that rhubarb is toxic to chickens so no scraps for the birds.
