These Strawberry Squares are somewhat reminiscent of soft granola bars filled with fruit. They are a delicious, and probably nutritious, snack item or dessert item. Enjoy. -- STRAWBERRY SQUARES 1 qt. (4 cups) strawberries 1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour 1-1/4 cups rolled oats 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. salt 2/3 cup butter 2 tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. cinnamon Wash, pat dry, hull and slice strawberries. Drain on a paper towel and set aside. Combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture is crumbly. Set aside 1-1/2 cups of this mixture for topping. Pat remaining mixture into 8-inch square pan. Mix sugar and cinnamon, and toss with sliced strawberries. Spoon strawberries over crumb base in pan. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top. Bake at 350F for 40 minutes. The recipe recommends to cut it into 12 squares and serve it warm, but it is delicious cold, too. -- Geoff Loker Department of Computer Science University of Toronto Toronto, ON M5S 1A4 USENET: {ihnp4 decwrl utzoo uw-beaver}!utcsri!utai!gkloker CSNET: gkloker@toronto ARPANET: gkloker.toronto@csnet-relay
