Rhubarb...yummm!

 

 Every Spring my grandparents grow the most amazing rhubarb garden. One of my favorite things to do was cut a stalk and eat it raw. I'd pucker up and enjoy the tart

experience. However, my taste buds have recently "matured" and I find that eating rhubarb is a much more pleasant experience when you add loads of sugar. After many failed attempts, I finally discovered this amazingly yummy recipe and I thought I'd share. So here it 

is....

 Rhubarb Strawberry Crunch

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 3 cups diced rhubarb
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup rolled oats

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, strawberries, and rhubarb. Place the mixture in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, butter, and oats until crumbly. You may want to use a pastry blender for this. Crumble on top of the rhubarb and strawberry mixture.
4. Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp and lightly browned.
