Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe
For dessert last Wednesday night, we made a strawberry rhubarb crisp, topped with vanilla ice cream. I’ve had several requests for the recipe, and it is about time for fresh rhubarb! The strawberries and the rhubarb in this recipe can be either fresh or frozen. You can also substitute sliced apples or pears for part of the fruit.
