This is great.. But I added strawberry jello 3 tablespoons after mixture was thick and clear and added a few drop of red food coloring also.. ..And then added the rhubarb to the mixture after it had cooled for awhile. Then followed the rest of recipe to the tee.. Its great 6 stars

I was so happy to find this recipe, it is the closest I found to the one my mother use to make when I was young! I also added a drop of red food coloring and 2˝ tablespoons of strawberry jello mix. Amazingly easy and delicious!

I made this gluten-free by using Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour and it was really delicious! Since we had a big crowd, I used 6 cups of rhubarb in a 9 x 13 pan and put all the crumble topping on top. Sooo good!! Lots of compliments!

Very good, I used half the sugar in both the cornstarch and topping mixes, and it was wonderful. I also made two 9x9 pans and put all the topping on top, splitting it between the two pans.

I have used this recipe with fresh peaches, blue berries, apples, you do as you were using 1/2 strawberries & 1/2 rhubarb. As long as you use an extra tablespoon of corn starch you can use any fresh fruit.

I used red sugar like for sugar cookies at the end on top of rhubarb before baking to add color it was great.
