Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, sliced into 1-inch pieces (unsweetened frozen rhubarb may be used)
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
CRUST
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick oats (old fashioned may be used, but not instant)
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed, I use light brown but dark can be substituted)
3/4 cup butter, softened (12 tbs., or 1 1/2 sticks)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
DRIZZLE
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 -2 tablespoon milk or 1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
2
Combine rhubarb, strawberries, and lemon juice in a 2-qt saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 8 to 12 minutes or until fruit is tender.
3
Combine granulated sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, then mix into the fruit mixture.
4
Keep cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil (approximately 1 minute). Continue boiling until thickened (1 minute). Remove from heat and set aside.
5
Combine all crust ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed, scraping bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture is crumbly.
6
Set aside 1 1/2 cups of crumb mixture.
7
Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Spread fruit filling over crust, and sprinkle evenly with reserved crumb mixture.
8
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
9
Cool completely (I pop pan in fridge for a bit if I'm short on time).
10
Mix drizzle ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over cooled bars. Cut into bars.
