Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F) If the outer skin of the stalks is very stringy, peel it off. Slice up 5-6 stalks to get 4 cups. Combine rhubarb in a bowl with the jam, sugar, flour, ginger, and orange rind. Spread mixture in a 9" square baking dish

For the topping Mix flour (your choice, I use 1/2 all purpose, 1/2 whole wheat pastry), sugar, oats (and nuts if desired). Cut in the butter and mix in the oil(s). Spread it over the filling.
