The Best Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp - Real Life Dinner

preview

Last summer, my sister called to tell me that she had just had The Best Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. I love that she knew I would be excited about it. I, of course, insisted that she get the recipe and share it with me. Here we are a year later, she got the recipe, and I made it last week. Oh.my.gosh! It really is the best! I didn’t expect to like it better than my favorite Rhubarb Crisp Dessert, but I do. I love what the hint of cinnamon does to the topping. The recipe in general is less fussy and takes half the time to prepare than my old favorite…at this stage in my life, that gets it lots of bonus points.Where do you stand on rhubarb desserts? My mom made Rhubarb Pie often when I was a kid, and I HATED IT! Like, I couldn’t stand it. Funny thing, I like it now…as long as it’s served with ice cream, but for a long time, I didn’t think I liked rhubarb. When I was in high school, my mom got a recipe for a Rhubarb Crisp Dessert and started making it. To my surprise, I really liked it. It was the only way I would eat rhubarb for a long time and ended up being my favorite dessert to make for guests when my husband and I were first married. My husband still loves it and usually requests it on Father’s Day.My parents have always had a large rhubarb plant in their garden, so I grew up watching my mom use it in recipes and also freezing it to use in the off-season. Rhubarb is actually really easy to freeze.Trim edges of stalks.Wash thoroughly.Cut stalks into 1/2-inch pieces.Place 2-4 cups in a freezer Ziploc bag. (I like to freeze it in amounts I know I need for specific recipes).Write the date and time on the bag with a Sharpie.When sealing the bag be sure to squeeze out the extra air.Place blags flat (for easier stacking) in your freezer.Pull out and use in your favorite rhubarb recipes all year long.Certain desserts will just always taste like summer to me. This Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is definitely one of them. Here is a list of some of my other favorite desserts that taste like summer.Frequently Asked Questions about making The Best Strawberry Rhubarb CrispYes, you can definitely use frozen strawberries, but they need to thaw before you use them in the recipe. You can do this by letting them sit out on the counter for a few hours or by using the defrost option on your microwave. If there is extra juice that comes off of them as they thaw, do not add that to the crisp or it will be runny.Yes. Just like with the frozen strawberries I mentioned above, the frozen rhubarb will need to be thawed before being used in the recipe. You can do this by letting it sit out on your counter for a few hours, using the defrost function on your microwave, or another way I have done it is to let the bag soak in a bowl of cold water. If there is extra liquid that comes off of the rhubarb as it defrosts, do not add that liquid to the crisp or it will be runny.The recipe calls for old-fashioned oats, but if you don’t have any, quick oats will work fine. I like the way the dessert looks with the old-fashioned, but as far as taste and texture go…it doesn’t matter which type you use.That is a good question. I have never tried to use a sugar substitute, so I can’t say. If you try it, please come back and leave a comment to let me know how it turned out.Strawberries are known for pairing really well with rhubarb. You could try using a different berry, but another thing you could do is use all rhubarb and make this Rhubarb Crisp recipe instead.Yes. I usually make it the night before I need to serve it. Once it cools, I cover it with plastic wrap, and then right before serving, I put it in a 250-degree oven for 15 minutes to warm it up. It is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.It does not need to be refrigerated, but if you have leftovers and want them to stay good longer than a day or two, I would suggest refrigerating them.The Best Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp &nbsp; Prep time 10 mins Cook time 40 mins Total time 50 mins &nbsp; Everything you love about summer in one bite. Served with vanilla ice cream this is The Best Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp. Simple Ingredients and AMAZING flavor! Author: Recipe type: Serves: Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the rhubarb, strawberries, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Pour fruit mixture into a deep-dish pie dish or 2.5-quart baking dish. Make the topping by stirring together the flour, oatmeal, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Once that is well combined, stir in the melted butter. Mixture will look crumbly. Next, sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the top of the fruit. Place baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until bubbly and thickened. If it seems liquid-y, allow it to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. The top should be nice and golden with some browned areas. ***To rewarm before serving, place in a 250-degree oven for 15 minutes.

I tossed the fruit right in the baking dish to save on dishwashing lol! Thanks for this recipe that used up some old rhubarb and semi-dried out strawberries in my fridge 🙂reply to this commentThis crisp is soooo delicious, especially served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My daughter liked it so much she asked me to make this for her birthday instead of a cake.reply to this commentAugustgiveawayreply to this commentI made this for my husband and myself and it was absolutely delicious!reply to this commentcan i freeze this?reply to this commentcan i use frozen strawberries and frozen rhubarb?reply to this commentAmazing! Best strawberry rhubarb crisp I have ever made!reply to this commentThis was awful! Followed the directions and it came out like soup! Couldn’t even eat it!reply to this commentThis had great flavour, but was much runnier than what I’m used to. Would cooking it longer make it caramelize more?reply to this commentMade it. Loved it. So easy. I doubled it because I had a big crowd. I put it in a 9×13 pan. I doubled the topping but didn’t use all of it. I also didn’t double the sugar. This will be my go to recipe. Thank you.reply to this commentMade this dessert according to the instructions exactly and it turned out perfect! The crumble was delicious and the strawberries (fresh) and rhubarb (thawed from frozen) combo was delightful. Will make again and won’t do anything differently. Thank you so much for the recipe! So easy too. I had my 4-year-old son help me and he felt so accomplished that he made a dessert everyone in our family raved about.reply to this commentHi, can I toss the rhubarb and strawberries with the sugar and refrigerate overnight, making sure to pour off excess liquid in the morning before baking? Thank you!reply to this commentI made this last night and it came out perfect! I have always struggled finding the right topping, one that would actually get crisp and not soggy…this is it! I did cook mine and extra 5 minutes. I was short on strawberries so instead of 50/50 it was 75/25 and still perfect, just a bit more rhubarb tang but the ice cream took care of that!reply to this commentThank you! It’s very good.
