Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

One of my favorite combinations- strawberry and rhubarb! The grocery stores around here have been stocked full of rhubarb the past few weeks and I have lots of plans for these long, red stalks while I can get my hands on them!

I decided to start with an oldie but a goodie!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 pint strawberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, and orange zest and juice in a large bowl. Stir to combine.

In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Rub butter into flour mixture with your fingers until it is well incorporated and large crumbs form. Add oats to combine.

Pour rhubarb mixture into a baking dish and cover with crumb topping. Bake until topping is brown and crisp and juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let cool before serving.
