I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Rhubarb and Strawberry Custard Squares

No wonder this recipe was a 1944 bake-off winner!

 With rhubarb season coming to a close and being right in the middle of a late strawberry season, there's no better time to whip these up!

 Ingredients:

 Crust:
1  1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or marg

 Filling:
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsps flour
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup quartered strawberries

 For the crust, mix flour and sugar together, then cut in the butter using a pastry knife. Gently press the crumbly mixture into a greased 13 X 9" baking dish.

 Bake at 350F for 10 minutes.

 Meanwhile prepare the filling. Combine sugar, salt and flour, then add the eggs and vanilla. Stir into the rhubarb and strawberries. 


Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and return to the oven for 30 minutes.



Let cool before cutting into squares...


and serve plain or topped with whipped cream, ice cream or Cool Whip topping.
