    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
    1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
    4 tablespoons water, divided
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    4 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 cup old-fashioned oats
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup flaked coconut
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup butter, melted

    Recipe



    In a large saucepan, combine the rhubarb, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until rhubarb is tender.

    Combine the cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, coconut, salt and remaining brown sugar. Stir in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press half of the mixture into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Spread with rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture and press down lightly.

    Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares.

    Yield: 16 bars.
