In large mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of the orange peel. Stir in rhubarb and orange.

Add the 2 cups of the bread cubes and ¼ cup of the melted butter. Mix. Turn into a deep 2-quart casserole or a 9x9x2 inch-baking dish.

Combine the remaining bread cubes, melted butter and remaining orange peel, and coconut. Sprinkle over rhubarb mixture.

Bake at 375° oven for 35-40 minutes or till mixture is golden brown or rhubarb is tender.

Serve warm. Makes 6 to 8 servings (Delicious served with ice cream)

Variation: Try substituting peaches for the oranges

Note: While fresh rhubarb is at its flavor peak, make this delicious dessert in quantity. Bake one for tonight and freeze the others for a treat later.
