Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

 
This long weekend the family and I seeded our garden. Having freshly grown vegetables and fruit nurtured by your own hard work and sweat has meaning beyond words. It not only gives us the ability to feed our kids quality foods but make lasting memories in the process. Just like the annual garden planting, we look forward to our first Rhubarb recipes of the season, like our family favourite Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp.
 

My rhubarb is doing very well; it’s time for some recipes. What are your favourite?

I’m lucky to have 3 very large and healthy Rhubarb plants to pick from. The key to tasty Rhubarb is to pick early and when the stalks aren’t overly large otherwise you can expect a woody unpleasant taste; when it reaches that flavour, toss it into the compost.

Did you know Rhubarb is considered a vegetable?

Our family has many Rhubarb recipes we consider favourites but Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp has to be at the top of our list. It’s easy to make, packed full of flavour and makes a perfect dessert for a Sunday dinner.

To make crisps extra special, I filled mini waffle bowls with crisp and topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and mint for individual desserts. You don’t have to go to the trouble of individually made desserts like these but I think they make a cute presentation for company. If you don’t have waffle bowls, small mason jars would look just as lovely.

If you like this Rhubarb recipe, I’d love if you’d pin it on Pinterest or share. You may also like to try my Rhubarb Slush. It’s a refreshing summer beverage for backyard barbecues or summer parties.
