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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, blend the base ingredients together with your fingers until the butter is no longer visible and the mixture is loose and crumbly. Transfer about 3/4 of the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a measuring cup to press the mixture into an even layer on the bottom of the pan. In another medium bowl, stir the rhubarb, strawberry, lemon juice, cornstarch and sugar together. Pour into the pan. Crumble the remaining base mixture on top of the fruit. Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 9 pieces. Tip: Lining the pan with parchment paper helps with removing the bars after baking.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries and rhubarb.
- If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb that has been thawed and drained.
- Be sure to chop the rhubarb into small pieces so that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb, or it will become mushy.
- The bars are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
