strawberry rhubarb crisp
Typically I try not to turn the oven on in the summer months, however the grocery store cleverly placed their rhubarb display right next to the strawberries which gave me the idea for this tasty treat. I remember my mom making rhubarb pie when I was younger and I loved it, but never made it myself.
As lovely as pies are, I personally think you get a similar result with a lot less work by whipping up a crisp. So I googled away and found this simple recipe.
2 c. sliced strawberries
1 c. sugar
1 1/3 c. flour, divided
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. butter, melted & cooled
In
another bowl combine remaining 1 cup flour with brown sugar, oats and
nutmeg. Add butter and blend well to create the streusel. Sprinkle
streusel over rhubarb mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Let me tell ya… it was totally worth turning the oven on. That tart/sweet mixture gets me every time (no surprise I'm a fan of Sour Patch Kids:) Also, it turns out my favorite friend in Washington has been busy baking treats in her kitchen… click HERE if you love peaches & raspberries.
