BIG RAY'S RHUBARB RELISH RECIPE



Big Ray's Rhubarb Relish Recipe image

Growing up we always had an abundance of rhubarb from the garden. This was a way for my mom to use it up and treat us as well. Nice addition to ice cream, pound cake, or all by itself. You can substitute any berries for the strawberries.

BIG RAY'S CHERRY RHUBARB COFFEE BARS



Big Ray's Cherry Rhubarb Coffee Bars image

Mom gave me the original recipe which is kind of a cross between a coffee cake and dessert bar, using a strawberry-rhubarb combination, but I changed it to one with cherry, which I think gives it a richer flavor.

Categories     Cherry Desserts

Time 1h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups chopped rhubarb
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cold butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
  • Mix 1 cup sugar and cornstarch together in a bowl; stir into rhubarb mixture. Cook and stir until rhubarb mixture is thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Stir in pie filling; remove from heat and cool filling, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; cut in 1 cup cubed butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Beat buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; add to flour mixture and stir just until batter is moistened.
  • Spread a little more than half of the batter into the prepared baking dish; top with cherry-rhubarb filling. Drop teaspoonfuls of remaining batter over filling.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour in a bowl; cut in 1/2 cup cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle mixture over batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cherries and rhubarb. If you can't find fresh cherries, frozen cherries will work just as well.
  • Be sure to drain the cherries and rhubarb thoroughly before adding them to the batter. This will prevent the bars from becoming too wet.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cherries and rhubarb by hand. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces.
  • For a crunchy topping, use a mixture of brown sugar, oats, and butter. You can also add nuts or chopped chocolate to the topping.
  • Bake the bars until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These cherry rhubarb coffee bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
