Rhubarb squares

My family has been making these delicious squares for years. It's getting a little late in the season but there is still time to stick some rhubarb in the freezer so you can make these in the months ahead.

They have a delicious shortbread base covered with a tangy rhubarb filling with a light, meringue on top. Yummmeee!
