Notes

  • Fresh or frozen rhubarb can be used in this recipe. If using frozen rhubarb, it must be thawed completely and then drained before using.
  • If using frozen rhubarb, double the cornstarch to 2 tablespoons.
  • Do not decrease the amount of sugar in this recipe; rhubarb is really tart and needs a lot of sugar to balance its tartness.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled; if doubling, bake in a standard 9"x13" pan
  • Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
