I absolutely love old spiral bound cookbooks with tried and true recipes. My sister and I went to a few garage sales, a couple weeks ago, and I stumbled upon a whole box filled with old cookbooks. I couldn't believe they were only $1 a piece, so carefully looked through them, and picked three. Once I got home, I started looking through them and found a whole bunch of rhubarb recipes I've never seen before in this cookbook!
It's called "Home Sweet Home"-steaders Favorite Recipes from Lebanon Oregon. Notice the art on the cover says "Kissin' wears out... Cookin don't" Hehe ;) It looks like this cookbook was well loved before I got it. That means one thing, great recipes!
I pulled a bag of rhubarb out of the freezer and decided to try this Rhubarb Custard Dessert.
It turned out so good!! I am a HUGE custard lover and this recipe is right up my alley. All of the ingredients are basic, so you probably won't even need to make a trip to the grocery store. It's also very simple to make. The crust tastes like sugar cookies and the tartness of the rhubarb goes perfectly with that. I hope you enjoy this dessert and keep an eye out for some more recipes from these great cookbooks!
Rhubarb Custard Dessert (print recipe)
What you need:
Crust:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
5 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
Custard:
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups raw rhubarb
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the crust ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Pat crust mixture into a 9x13 pan. (It doesn't look like enough at first, but it will cover the bottom. Just keep patting.) Bake crust for 15 minutes.
Combine custard ingredients in order given. Mix well. Pour custard over crust and bake for another 30-45 minutes until custard is set and top begins to lightly brown.
