Adapted from the blog "I'll Have What She's Having" - http://iwantthepie.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/raspberry-crumb-bars/. Even though I totally flaked out and forgot to bake the bottom crust for this (turns out you don't need to! Read more ), and the filling bubbled up like nothing else, the whole thing sets up as it cooled! Strawberries are Ontario grown, rhubarb from my backyard behemoth! See less
