But frozen works well, too. Measure the fruit while still frozen, then defrost the fruit at room temperature, and drain the excess liquid.<\/p>\n<p>In a rush? We hear you. Defrost the rhubarb and strawberries in the microwave at half power in five-minute increments, stirring gently between sessions. Then, drain the fruit in a colander (don\u2019t press the fruit, though!), pat them dry with a paper towel and proceed with the rest of the recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make these bars with just strawberries or just rhubarb?<\/h3>\n<p>You sure can make these bars with just berries or rhubarb. Just make sure to make up the difference with whichever fruit you choose. If you decide to go full rhubarb, add a few more tablespoons of sugar to the filling as it\u2019s a tart-flavored fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring and summer bring flourishing rhubarb stalks and perky strawberries,\u00c4\u00eesometimes more than you can handle!
