This was based on another recipe that had so many tweaks and corrections, that I just wanted to make sure I remembered how I did it. Because we really liked it this way! PS If using only rhubarb, may want to add a little extra sugar, and vice versa if using only strawberries!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups rhubarb, cut-up (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

How To Make rhubarb strawberry crisp

  • Step 1
    Thaw fruit if using frozen. Save the resulting liquid* and use it for your water later.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease or spray a 7x12 glass baking pan.
  • Step 3
    In a microwave, melt butter in a mixing bowl then add dry ingredients. Mix together until crumbly.
  • Step 4
    Strain out any melted liquid from the fruit, then spread fruit across bottom of prepared pan.
  • Step 5
    Make a slurry of 1 cup liquid (melted fruit juices +water to = 1 cup), the cornstarch and vanilla in small sauce pan. Cook over med-hi heat until thickened and clear. I stirred constantly and it took about 7 or 8 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Pour thickened sauce over fruit. Top with crumb mixture and bake for 40-50 minutes until bubbly. Check so topping does not burn!
  • Step 7
    Let cool on a wire rack. Serve while still slightly warm with whipped cream or ice cream or just as is. Store left-overs covered in fridge.
