Delicious Rhubarb Custard Bars

Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable often mistaken for fruit due to its culinary applications. Its tartness is what sets it apart; it has a sharp, tangy flavor that can be both invigorating and refreshing. This tartness makes rhubarb an ideal companion for sweeter ingredients, allowing it to shine in desserts like pies, crumbles, and, of course, custard bars.

1 cup of diced rhubarb

1 cup of milk

1 tsp vanilla extract
