I do LOVE these make overs!

I love your sense of humor as you write. I think we may have the same sense of humor :-) I have used cherries with rhubarb instead of strawberries, and they are a nice combination.

I'm going to have to bookmark this page. :) I also have a similar rhubarb upside down cake recipe (which calls for mixing the cake ingredients together and pouring over the rhubarb, jello and mini *marshmallows*). Will have to try this version! (I'd use 1/2 whole wheat flour too.) Wow, and I thought I was the only one who changed recipes from “easy & convenient” back to wholesome goodness from scratch.

I'm wondering what I can use instead--the only thing in the list of ingredients that leaps out at me is corn starch. Do you know whether adding corn starch would have the same effect on cookies that pudding mix does, since the rest of the ingredients are already called for in the recipe? <strong>Well, there's gelatin in there too, and sugar... I'd guess you could sub cornstarch and sugar and vanilla? PJH</strong> On a similar note, I’ve got a recipe for sugar cookies that calls for a box of vanilla pudding mix (not instant).

He and I love rhubarb and i baked them in individual servings. So i am going to share a trick about individual servings. i have to carry things by car, to my dad's, family, work and always wanted to keep things neat. So i have been using 1-cup wide mouth jam jars. They are easy to portion. 50 grams(1 sm. handful) of rhubarb and a 2 oz scoop of strawberries w/topping piped on. After baking, i cool them and cover with a regular jam jar lid and ring. they look charming and make perfect size servings for desserts. I also do this for custards. Anything you usually make in a big pan, i do individually. I also took 1/4 cup of the flour and replaced in with "chopped" quick cooking oats that i toasted in the oven to perk up the nutty flavor. i added a hint of ginger and cinnamon also. Gave away a small serving dish - 2 servings to neighbors who did not have family with them...my grandkids loved it too. Thanks for all the work you did to make the recipe so great!

That night I made this recipe and, boy, did it turn out wonderful! On Saturday, I took the rest of the pie with me and my siblings to visit our only living 88 year old aunt and her two daughters. After a lovely dinner, we had the rest of the pie for our dessert. Needless to say, it really hit the spot and we all enjoyed it. And I gave all the credit to King Arthur Flour for this wonderful recipe. Oh, and there's another rhubarb pie in the oven right now! Thank you, KAF!

Would you suggest any changes to the recipe or steps if starting with frozen rhubarb? Thanks. <strong>What a good idea to use rhubarb! I would mix the thawed rhubarb with confectioners' sugar to taste. Molly@KAF</strong> Wonderful! Would you suggest any changes to the recipe or steps if starting with frozen rhubarb? Thanks.

I make Knox blocks with various juices, and they taste good. I don't like Jello-flavored stuff, either.
