Thank you so much I will try it, I bought some rubarb and strawberries the other day.

My Mother used to make it, too, she grew her own rhubarb and I loved it. Here's the recipe, I used; I improvised a bit from the original:
1 C light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 C all purpose flour
3/4 C quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 C melted butter
1 tsp cinnamon
4 C sliced rhubarb
1 C granulated sugar
2 TBSP cornstarch
1 C water
1 tsp vanilla
( I used dark brown sugar instead of light brown, and 2 C each of sliced rhubarb and strawberries)
In mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter and cinnamon. Mix together until crumbly. Press half the brown sugar and oats mixture into a buttered 8 inch square baking dish. Top with the sliced strawberries/ rhubarb.
In a saucepan combine 1 C granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the 1 C water and vanilla. Cook together until clear (it turns syrup-y) then pour over rhubarb/ strawberries. Top rhubarb with remaining crumb mixture and bake at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes.
My family really liked this, the first thing my daughter said was "grandma used to make this, didn't she?". Nice memories.
