1944 Bake Off Winner Rhubarb Custard Bars image

One of my favorite hobbies is collecting vintage cookbooks and this was a delicious recipe that that was tucked inside. If you have an abundance of rhubarb, you have to give this a try. Anything that is still being passed around from 1944 just has to be good!
