Rhubarb recipes, especially recipes like this wonderful strawberry rhubarb crisp, are a sure sign of spring.
Each of these fruits is delicious on its own, combine them and it’s heaven on a plate.
The rhubarb on it’s own is fabulous. I love the tartness of rhubarb. You can control the amount of sweetness you want it to have.
Mixing rhubarb with sweet strawberries is simply amazing. The two fruits go together so well. It really does seem like a match made in heaven.
This recipe is a wonderful mix of sweet and tart, with a sweet, slightly crunchy topping.
Both strawberry recipes and rhubarb recipes are popular in spring and summer when they are fresh and at their best.
This recipe can also be made with frozen fruit too. Just thaw the fruit first and drain off some of the liquid.
Or use it frozen. If you do that, increase the amount of flour you use to thicken the filling and cook it for a few minutes longer to compensate for the cold fruit mixture.
Serve this strawberry rhubarb crisp with homemade vanilla ice cream for a real treat.
