Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Sugar
4 teaspoons Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Orange liqueur or orange juice
4 cups Sliced fresh rhubarb (1-1/3 lb)
1 cup All-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
1½ teaspoon Baking powder
¼ cup Margarine or butter
1 Egg
2 tablespoons Milk
1 pint Fresh strawberries, halved
Whipped cream, half-and-half, light cream, or ice cream (optional)

Directions

In a large saucepan combine the 1 cup sugar and cornstarch. Stir in liqueur or orange juice. Add rhubarb. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Keep hot.

In a medium bowl stir together 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the margarine or butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir together egg and milk; add to flour mixture, stirring just to moisten. Turn out onto lightly floured surface.

Knead 5 or 6 times. Roll dough to an 11x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into ½-inch-wide strips.

Stir strawberries into rhubarb mixture. Turn hot fruit mixture into a 2-quart rectangular or oval baking dish. Weave dough strips atop fruit mixture to make a lattice top, trimming strips to fit dish. Place baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 400 B0 F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till fruit is tender and lattice top is golden. Serve warm with cream or ice cream, if desired.
