Rhubarb can be a scary fruit for new bakers to use, it's very tart and not usually thought of as savory, however my mother has passed on to me this great recipe which I've passed on to my daughter. Although not everyone likes rhubarb, almost everyone likes this Rhubarb Kuchen. (In this instance we will define Kuchen as pie-like pastry, though it can have many meanings.)
Rhubarb Kuchen from the kitchen of
Grandma Ma'am
Grandma Ma'am
Crust
1 cup flour
1 cup gram cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
I omitted 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 egg (being lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs, yay for me). This does not really affect the crust but next time I would use rhubarb from the freezer to add some moisture to the filling.
Mix together crust ingredients and press into baking pan (I used a pie pan and made a half of a batch)
Mix filling ingredients mush over crust
Rhubarb filling
4 cups of 1/2 pices cut rhubarb
1 pkg 3oz strawberry jello
1/4 cup sugar
Topping 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 Tbs cinnamon

That's it! Be sure to let me know how this recipe turned out for you! May you find comfort in your life (and find someone to do the dishes!)
