I set the pie on the hot element to rest as I took it out of the oven and BOOM-inedible due to the shards of glass that might be present. There was a pall and a moment of silence as it sank in that there would only be apple pie that year…pumpkin is the hubster's favourite! anne Trepanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659649557647379125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-63342505940427796652015-06-24T06:46:54.744-07:002015-06-24T06:46:54.744-07:00Thanks for the reply, I did do another pan of the ...Thanks for the reply, I did do another pan of the same square recipe that same day. And it turned out lovely.. I did beat the eggs but only for a few minutes, and then add the rest. The batter was not as airy and fluffy as the first try and the mixture covered the rhubarb and the rhubarb could be seen when spread out, where I couldn't see the four cups of the fruit in the first batter! I couldn't cut the first dessert without the meringue smashing, but it went to a fence building bee and quickly disappeared. Lol.. I also reduced the sugar to 1 1/4 -1 1/2 cups and it was still plenty sweet.. I was able to cut the pan into small serving pieces, I think about 36<br /> pieces..<br />Here and Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915450270890238006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-75611712053201617982015-06-24T05:20:03.440-07:002015-06-24T05:20:03.440-07:00Hi Marilyn, thanks for the questions and I will tr...Hi Marilyn, thanks for the questions and I will try to answer best I can. I am curious, did you put crumbs on top and then you still got a thin layer of meringue like topping? I didn't think that when eggs were beaten into a batter with flour that it could do that, or at the very least it has not been my experience. If that is the way yours turned out and you still enjoyed eating it I think that would be just fine. Can you freeze this dessert, yes, even if you get a thin like meringue crust on it. My recommendation would be to thaw it uncovered, that way the crumbs don't get soggy. I hope this helps. charlotte mgcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048116678193513487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-77458922288977405902015-06-22T11:45:41.184-07:002015-06-22T11:45:41.184-07:00I just pulled out this dessert out of the oven..

What do you think?<br />I had wondered if this dessert could be frozen. I also would decrease the 2 cups of sugar as the dessert is way too sweet even with the four cups of Rhubarb. I am going to try again, but will wait to hear if I had over beaten the batter and if it can be successful frozen.

With 2 cups of rhubarb, 1 cup of strawberries, and 1 cup of blackberries buried in the freezer, the time had come to make this. No joke, my husband proclaimed the recipe his all time favorite dessert that I've ever made. I thought I would drop you a note and let you know how much our family enjoyed this dish of deliciousness. And yes, I used the crumb topping. Mine actually took about 15 minutes longer in the oven. I waited for a nice golden topping. It was perfect, and thankfully no glass breakage :) Thanks for sharing!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962490721295362487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-49338310101978002752014-08-28T21:17:32.959-07:002014-08-28T21:17:32.959-07:00Icing sugar is also known as Powdered sugar.
