Steps:
- Start with marinating the rhubarb. Wash and dry the rhubarb and cut into small dices. Add together with the smashed raspberries to a bowl and mix with 2 tbsp. of the sugar - cover and let sit for about 1 hour.
- p id="instruction-step-2″>2. While the rhubarb is marinating prepare the streusel. Line a 9×9 inches (22x22cm) square baking tin with some baking parchment and set aside. Add flour, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter in small pieces as well as the vanilla extract and mix everything with your hands until you get different sized streusel - make sure there is no more flour on the bottom of the bowl. Take a little bit more than half of the streusel and transfer it to the prepared baking tin. Press to the bottom and into the corners to get one even layer, prick several times with a fork. Place with the remaining streusel in the fridge until the rhubarb is ready - at least 20 minutes.
- ="instruction-step-3″>3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the crust for about 15 minutes until it gets some color around the edges. Take out of the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C). Let cool down for a bit.
- struction-step-4″>4. Drain the rhubarb if there is a lot of liquid - some is ok though. Add the lemon juice and sugar and mix to combine. Sprinkle the flour on top and mix until all is well combined. Pour that filling on top of the baked crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the streusel from the fridge and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the streusel have a nice golden color and the filling is bubbly. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely before removing it from the tin.
- ruction-step-5″>5. If you want to add the glaze on top (optional), mix the confectioners' sugar with 1 tsp. of the milk and the vanilla extract and add more milk until the consistency is nice and thick and not too runny. Drizzle over the rhubarb bars and let harden/dry before slicing.
RHUBARB BARS WITH SHORTBREAD CRUST
Rhubarb Shortbread Bars are a dream come true! A thick and buttery shortbread crust, topped with a layer of simple rhubarb filling, and topped with even more glorious shortbread. There is a secret ingredient in this recipe that makes these rhubarb bars bright ruby red, and it's not food coloring. It works like a charm!

Steps:
- Begin by prepping the rhubarb: chop the rhubarb into bite size pieces. I like to split each stalk at least in half lengthwise (if not thirds) so that you don't get any huge chunks. After slicing, chop into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
- Add all the rhubarb to a bowl, along with 1/2 cup grenadine syrup. Stir it all together so that the rhubarb is coated. Let sit for 1-2 hours on the counter stirring occasionally, or even overnight (put it in the fridge, covered, if you go overnight.) This is to get the rhubarb a nice bright red color. It is not a necessary step but it sure is pretty!* When you are ready to make the rhubarb bars, drain the rhubarb in a colander.
- While the rhubarb soaks, prepare the shortbread crust. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, add 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter. Beat until smooth and creamy, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar and beat again for at least 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and beat.
- Add 2 cups of flour, spooned and leveled, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Beat in the flour and salt until the mixture has come together and has formed a ball. Scrape sides as necessary. Do not over mix; beat just until the flour is combined and then no more (otherwise your shortbread will be tough).
- Divide the dough into two, one with a little more than half the dough. (Cover the smaller piece of dough and put it in the fridge.)
- Press a little more than half of the dough into the prepared square pan. Getting your hands a little damp can be helpful. I like to leave the edges raised a half inch or so, so that you have a bit of crust on the edge pieces, but pressing it all flat will work too. If you have time, chill the dough for a few minutes, 10-20 minutes is best. Cold dough going into a hot oven makes for very tender shortbread.
- Bake the crust at 375 for about 15 minutes, or until light brown on the edges. My shortbread puffed up in the middle even though I had made a raised crust, so I gently pressed the center back down with the back of a spoon, when it was very hot from the oven still.
- Set the crust aside and let cool for a few minutes.
- Leave the oven on but lower the temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, prepare the rhubarb filling: drain the rhubarb in a colander or strainer. Add your red rhubarb to a medium bowl.
- Stir in 3/4 cup sugar (add a couple extra tablespoons if you skipped the grenadine soak*).
- Add 1/4 cup all purpose flour and stir.
- At this point you can add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon zest, but it is optional. It brightens up the flavor of the rhubarb, but you can definitely taste the lemon. Feel free to add just the juice and skip the zest for a milder hint of lemon. If you are a rhubarb purist, skip the lemon entirely.
- Pour the rhubarb filling over the baked crust.
- Use you fingers to break off medium pieces of shortbread from your stash in the fridge. Check the photos to see the size we're talking. I like big ol chunks. You don't have to cover the rhubarb entirely.
- Bake the rhubarb bars in the oven at 350 for about 45-50 minutes. The bars are done when the shortbread on top is golden in several spots across the top. A fork should also slide easily into a piece of rhubarb; it should be completely tender.
- Let the bars cool completely. I stuck mine in the freezer to speed this up.
- If you would like to top with a vanilla glaze, in a medium bowl combine 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cooled bars and let the glaze set up for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
