STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; stir to combine. Mix in oats, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined, using the back of a spoon to break up any brown sugar clumps. Add melted butter and vanilla extract and stir well until mixture is evenly moistened.
• Press 2 cups of the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly. Set remaining mixture aside.
• Combine strawberries and rhubarb in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
• Mix together 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to strawberry-rhubarb mixture and mix well. Pour fruit filling on top of the crumb layer. Crumble reserved crumb mixture on top of the fruit, spreading evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top has browned and the filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Remove and cool before cutting into bars.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
• In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the powdered sugar and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs and clump together when squeezed lightly in your hand. (This can also be done in a food processor.) Scoop 2 cups of the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish and press evenly into the pan with your fingers. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges and light golden in the middle.
• While the crust is baking, add 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar to the remaining butter-flour mixture and toss to combine. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and the ground cloves. Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons flour (adding more flour will make the filling firmer when cool), the orange zest, and vanilla. Add the rhubarb and strawberries, mixing well to coat the fruit. Pour the mixture onto the hot crust, spreading the filling to the edges of the dish. Sprinkle the reserved sugar mixture over the fruit. Bake for 50 minutes or until bubbling around the edges and light brown on top.
• Let the bars cool to room temperature before cutting and serving.
• Make Ahead
• The bars can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 5 days.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB DESSERT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
• Combine rhubarb, strawberries, and lemon juice in a 2-qt saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 8 to 12 minutes or until fruit is tender.
• Combine granulated sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, then mix into the fruit mixture.
• Keep cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil (approximately 1 minute). Continue boiling until thickened (1 minute). Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine all crust ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed, scraping bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is crumbly.
• Set aside 1 1/2 cups of crumb mixture.
• Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Spread fruit filling over crust, and sprinkle evenly with reserved crumb mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
• Cool completely (I pop pan in fridge for a bit if I'm short on time).
• Mix drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over cooled bars. Cut into bars.
