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.
