Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup Sliced Rhubarb fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup Sliced fresh strawberries plus more for garnish!
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 tbsp Confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 stick Cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest

  2. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper
  3. Combine rhubarb, strawberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until fruit is softened and beginning to break down, 2 to 4 minutes. Cool.
