Rhubarb Crumble

When rhubarb is plentiful, try this tart, sweet, humble recipe. You can also mix in strawberries 1/2 and 1/2.

Prepare:

Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 4 cups diced rhubarb (or 2 cups of strawberries and 2 cups of rhubarb)
Sauce:
  • 1 cup honey (or 1/2 honey and 1/2 sugar)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup water, (or juice saved from thawing the fruit if frozen)

Mix dry ingredients. cut in butter and press half of the crumb mixture into a 9" square baking pan. Spread rhubarb (and berries) evenly over crumbs. Mix sauce ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick and clear. Pour over rhubarb (and berries). Sprinkle remainder of crumb mixture over top and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 1 hour or until golden brown.

Serve with cream or ice cream.
