When it came to this strawberry rhubarb crisp, after I swallowed the first bite, I immediately wanted more!
I had never tried rhubarb before I made this strawberry rhubarb crisp. I mean really, it is kind of intimidating. Just look at the way it is shaped. It looks like a large reddish stalk of celery. As you know, I will always try new foods at least once. I’ll put it in my mouth and give it a taste, but it doesn’t mean I have to swallow it.
This recipe for strawberry rhubarb crisp uses the main ingredients from David’s apple crisp recipe, replacing the apples with bite-sized pieces of strawberries and rhubarb. The strawberries and rhubarb are coated in sugar and topped with a brown sugar oat topping with warm tones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Oh my goodness, you’ve got to try it!
Here’s how I made it:

I don’t think it would survive the trip. I would probably eat it along the way. This was my first stab at rhubarb anything. I like it!!
I figure I better keep my Photoshop skills in tune since I don’t use it on a daily basis anymore. Glad you like what you see! 🙂
