Directions

FOR THE CRUST

In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and the butter.

Stir the mixture with a fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press one half of the mixture into an ungreased 9" square baking dish.

Sprinkle the rhubarb over the crumb base in the baking pan.

FOR THE TOPPING

In a pan, combine the granulated sugar and cornstarch and mix to combine.

Add the water and stir until smooth.

Cook mixture over medium-high heat, and bring mixture to a boil.

Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring almost constantly to avoid sticking and burning, about 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, and the food colouring if desired.

Serves 8 - 10.

There you go! ... a rhubarb recipe just like the one Grandma used to make ;)
