Almost every home in our part of the country has a rhubarb patch, so we're always on the lookout for new rhubarb recipes. I've been making this particular recipe for a long time - I discovered it in a cookbook I received when my husband and I were married in 1950. It's one of my favorites.

Ingredients

3 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
TOPPING:
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup quick-cooking or rolled oats
6 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

In a bowl, combine rhubarb, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Spoon into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish; set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and oats. Cut in butter until crumbly; sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.

Editor's Note

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

I followed the recipe step-by-step and I ended up with a soupy mess. I baked it at 350 for 65 minutes and it never did set up. What an awful waste of fresh rhubarb and ingredients! :-(

Quick and easy and very very yummy! I might use a little less butter next time because I like my topping dryish, but really really good!
