DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan. In small bowl, soften yeast in warm water (105 to 115°F.). In large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar and salt. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1 cup margarine until crumbly. Add yeast mixture and 3/4 cup warm milk (105 to 115°F.); mix well. 2 Divide pastry dough in half; shape into balls. Between sheets of waxed paper, roll out each ball of pastry to 17x12-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet of waxed paper from 1 rectangle. Place pastry rectangle in greased pan; remove remaining waxed paper. Press pastry over bottom and slightly up sides of pan. 3 In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Spread evenly in pastry-lined pan. Remove top sheet of waxed paper from remaining pastry rectangle; place over filling. Remove remaining waxed paper. Seal edges securely. Prick top pastry with fork in several places. 4 Bake at 400°F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until light golden brown. 5 In small bowl, combine all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired glaze consistency; blend until smooth. Drizzle over warm bars. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled. Cut into bars.
Rhubarb, a perennial easy-grow garden favorite in temperature and cold climates, has fibrous greenish red stalks similar to those of celery and dark green leaves that are beautiful - and poisonous. Only rhubarb's stalks are edible, Sweet strawberries are a traditional and pleasing foil to the rhubarb's tartness.
Exposed to warm water, yeast will begin to foam and expand with leavening power. Do not use boiling water; it will kill the yeast. You can add a bit of the recipe's sugar to the yeast as it dissolves to encourage foaming, but never add salt directly to yeast - it too will reduce the leavening ability.
