Rinse and hull strawberries. Drain until dry on absorbent towels; cut berries in half. Set aside 1 cup of berries for garnish. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium heat, combine remaining strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and peel. Cover and stir occasionally until rhubarb is soft when pierced, about 5 minutes. Blend 2 tablespoons water with cornstarch; stir into rhubarb mixture, then stir over high heat until mixture reaches a rolling boil.
Mix liqueur with rhubarb mixture, then spread into baked tart shell. Chill until filling is cool and set, at least 1 hour; if made ahead, cover and chill up until next day. Top with reserved strawberries. Cut into wedges. Serves 8 or 9. - Ellen Nishimura, Fair Oaks, Cal if.
