I did remember in time this week, though, and I made a strawberry-rhubarb crisp and put it in the oven. Then I headed to gymnastics.
At the twin bridges I realized that I had forgotten to take it out of the oven. Fortunately Clara was home by the phone, and all was not lost.
If you want to try your own, here is a similar recipe. You can substitute two cups of strawberries (from the freezer. Let's use up the last of the 2009 berries now!) for half the rhubarb.
But set your timer.
I always forget I have a plant of it growing near the back fence. That bush sprouts and dies off before I remember, almost every year.
ReplyDeleteSilly me!
Dear Anna,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this recipe...I am forever looking for new ideas for rhubarb. My "men" love apple crisp, so I'm sure that they will enjoy this as well.
On another note, I stumbled across your blog while visiting another awhile ago. I so enjoy reading it. Thank you for sharing your precious blessings with us!
God bless,
Laura
wish i had a "clara." :) one of these days....looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYum yum.
ReplyDeleteTo prevent that rhubarb from going bad, or when you are blessed with an influx of it from both sets of grandparents and aunts and uncles (speaking from experience here...), my grandma taught me to chop it up (just as you have in the crisp), put 1c portions in baggies and freeze. now I have my brown sugar-rhubarb muffins all year round! {And I don't even have to defrost it--I just toss the frozen rhubarb in my muffin batter and bake. it's perfect.}
I LOVE fruit crisps of any kind.
ReplyDeleteAnna, This look fabulous! Thanks for the recipe.

My mom makes a mean rhubarb crisp! I wonder if she's ever added strawberries...I'll have to ask her. Those pictures are making me hungry. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Rhubarb! Thank you for the delicous recipe Anna :) Great photo :)
ReplyDeleteYum!!! My rhubarb is growing out in the garden - almost ready for the first strawberry-rhubarb pie : )
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks delicious! I love rhubarb...
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I love it! :) Very encouraging and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share with you that we freeze our rhubarb. It's a trick I recently learned...thankfully! Ours used to go bad before I could use it up, too! Now we just wash, dry, and cut it to the size we need for our crisp recipe. Then we measure 1 or 2 cups out and freeze it in a baggie marked with the amount inside.
Anyway, love your blog and look forward to reading more!
Blessings to you,
Leah
