- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Hard to resist, chewy treats loaded with sweetened rhubarb.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray bottom and sides of pan.
- Crust:
In a large bowl, mix oatmeal, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut in the butter
until mixture is crumbly. Press 3 cups of crust mixture into bottom of the pan to form a crust.
Filling mixture: In a large pan, combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla. Boil
for approximately 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, in a small
bowl, mix cornstarch and water together. Stir until smooth. Add to the cooked rhubarb mixture.
Continue cooking until thickened, approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the strawberry jello mix and stir until dissolved.
Remove from heat. Pour cooked rhubarb
mixture over crust. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture on top. If desired, sprinkle almonds on top.
Bake 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting bars.
