1 1/2 C. sugar
1 C. buttermilk
1/2 teas. salt

Mix well, then stir in the above
rhubarb mixture.
Pour into a greased & floured
9"x13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for
40-45 mins.
(Mine was done in 30-35 mins., so
check with a toothpick!)

Topping:
6 T. butter
1/4 C. milk
1 C. finely chopped nuts
2/3 C. brown sugar
1 C. coconut
Combine & boil for 3 mins. Spread
over the cake while cake is still
warm.

I made this frosting for about 4
years as the store I shop at didn't
stock the boxed pecan coconut
frosting mix (for German Choc. Cake)
in the box. Now we prefer this
frosting for the German Choc. cake
mixes.

Blueberry-Rhubarb Jam

7 C. chopped rhubarb
1 can blueberry pie filling
4 C. sugar
1 (6 oz) pkg. raspberry Jell-O
Boil rhubarb, pie filling, & sugar
for 10 mins.
Add dry gelatin and mix well to
dissolve.
Pour into jars. Let stand until
cool-cover and store in freezer.
Don't forget to keep one in the
refrigerator!!
I prefer to use a potato masher,
and a whisk to break up the rhubarb
as it boils. Watch out for the popping
bubbles as it boils-Hot,hot,hot!!
This recipe is good on toast,
bread, buns, french toast, pancakes,
& ice cream.

From Better Homes & Gardens
"New Cook Book" copyrighted 1976:

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie

Combine:
1 1/2 C. sugar
3 T. quick-cooking Tapioca
1/4 teas. ground nutmeg

Add 1 lb. rhubarb, cut in 1/2"
pieces ( 3 C.)
and 1 C. sliced strawberries.
Mix to coat fruit. Let stand for
20 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare pastry for 9"
lattice -top pie.
Line 9" pie plate with pastry.
Fill with fruit mixture. Dot with
1 T. butter or margarine.
Adjust lattice-top;seal.
Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees)
for 35-40 minutes.
Personal notes: I always add
about 1 extra C. of strawberries,
so therefore I use heaping T.'s of
Tapioca. I also use a deep dish pie
plate and never do the lattice-top,
just a vented top crust.
