When it comes to summer time food, there is nothing that says summer to me more than rhubarb. Every summer, my grandmother would turn her rhubarb into a plethora of delicious dishes from pies to jams to breads. I was excited when I found out that Jennifer is a rhubarb fan as well. In fact, when we first into our house, one of the first things we planted was rhubarb. And while we've not been very successful growing much in our garden, the rhubarb is currently flourishing.
I'm definitely not the only one in the house that can cook. While Jennifer doesn't cook a lot, there are some things that she does really well. And one these things just happens to be one of my favorite rhubarb preparations. The tartness of the rhubarb combines so well with sweet fruits and a nice crumble on the top. Add a little vanilla ice cream and it's a wonderfully simple summer dessert.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Cut the rhubarb and strawberries into bite-sized pieces. You should have 4-5 cups of fruit. Place all of the fruit into a 2-qt casserole dish or 8" square baking dish.
Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, add the remaining ingredients. Using your hands, mix everything together until it forms into a nice crumble. It should be falling apart, not forming into a dough.
Step 3: Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until the crumble is golden brown on the top, and the fruit is bubbling around the sides. Serve in a bowl with some vanilla ice cream.
