Overall very good. I reduced sugar to 2/3 of what the recipe called for. Good ratio of rhubarb:strawberry. Love the oats. Not crunchy enough for me. Perhaps baking the crust first for a bit before adding fruit mixture would help. I'm thinking of trying a variation with chopped pecans and less flour to give it more crunch.

I cheated with this one. I used canned strawberry rhubarb pie filling to save time. The crust was tasty. I will fix this again. I wish we could buy fresh rhubarb here in OK.

I wanted something easier to make than pie for my strawberries and rhubarb. This was perfect! I wanted to lick my bowl afterwards. I adjusted by using more strawberries and a bigger pan, everything else stayed the same. Scrumptious.

Very good recipe. We have made this twice. I didn't put the water in it and substituted tapioca for the corn starch. It has been put in the recipe file. It's a keeper!

This is a great recipe to make in the spring when the fresh rhubarb appears! We love the combination of rhubarb and strawberries together and this recipe is a great pairing of the two!! Served warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it is such a delicious dessert!!! If I am serving more people, I increase ingredients to 1 1/2 times the amounts and put in a 9x13 in dish. As a TOH field editor, this is one of our families favorite springtime desserts!
