Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

It's spring and the rhubarb is looking beautiful.  I decided today to harvest some of it and make this strawberry rhubarb crisp.  It is a combination of two separate recipes but I think it turned out delicious.  I am sure once you will try it you will like it as well.


Ingredients:
1 qt. strawberries, hulled, rinsed and cut in half
2 c. rhubarb, rinsed and cut into half inch chunks
2 T. corn starch
½ c. sugar
1 t. vanilla extract

 

Rinse fruit.  Remove strawberry hulls and cut in half.  Cut rhubarb into half inch pieces.

 

Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine.

 
Spray a 2 qt. glass or ceramic baking dish with non-stick coating.  Place fruit mixture evenly in the dish.


Topping:
1 c. flour
1 c. quick oats
1 c. brown sugar (packed)
½ c. (1 stick) melted butter
1 t. cinnamon

 

 

Mix all ingredients until combined.

Sprinkle topping over the fruit.

Place dish on a cookie sheet lined with foil, parchment or Silpat (in case of boil over).  Place in a 375º oven and bake for 40 minutes or until fruit is bubbly.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
