Rhubarb Dessert

Shhh, this is Tim's Mom's secret rhubarb recipe but I am going to post it anyway because it is so good and so easy.

RHUBARB DESSERT

CRUST:

1/2 cup softened butter

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 & 1/2 cup flour

dash salt

Mix ingredients and press firmly into 13 - 11 inch pan which has been well-greased. Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes but watch - don't let it get too brown.

TOPPING:

4 heaping cups rhubarb, cut into small pieces. Put aside.

2 eggs beaten

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar ( Tim's mother's secret ingredient)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 plus cup flour - beginning of season, rhubarb is more juicy, by July add less then 1/2

In bowl mix all ingredients well and pour onto warm crust.

Bake 350 degrees about 45 minutes. Cover with foil, the first half to be sure the rhubarb gets soft. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or softened ice cream.
