  • Yield: 12 Servings
25 35 60

Ingredients

  • SAUCE:
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring, optional
  • DOUGH:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons cold butter
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • FILLING:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir in water; add butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and, if desired, enough food coloring to tint sauce a deep pink; set aside.
  • For dough, in a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and mix quickly. Do not. Gather dough into a ball and roll out on a floured surface into a 12-in. x 9-in. x rectangle. Spread with softened butter; arrange rhubarb on top.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rhubarb. Roll up from the long side and place on a cutting board, seam side down. Cut roll into 12 slices. Arrange slices cut side up in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour sauce over. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 12 servings.

I would suggest cutting into 6 pieces and put in an 8x8 pan. It is really hard to cut the roll with the chopped rhubarb inside into 1 inch slices. I reduced the amount of sugar and water in the sauce and added some rhubarb syrup instead to increase the rhubarb taste.

We absolutely love this recipe. I have been making it every year since it first appeared in Taste of Home back in 1993. I cut the recipe out and used it every time but it's getting tattered so now I'm printing off a new copy. My entire family loves this dessert.
