Because rhubarb and strawberries arrive in New England at about the same time, they’ve been paired together for centuries in pies, cobblers, and crisps. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
FRUIT
2 | pounds fresh rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces |
---|---|
¾ | cup granulated sugar |
1½ | tablespoons cornstarch |
1 | tablespoon lemon juice |
1 | quart fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered |
1. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Have on hand a 12-inch baking dish (2½-quart
capacity).
2. In a bowl, toss the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently stir in the strawberries. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
TOPPING
¾ | cup flour |
---|---|
¾ | cup old-fashioned rolled oats |
⅔ | cup light brown sugar |
½ | teaspoon salt |
¾ | cup slivered almonds, chopped |
7 | tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut up |
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and almonds. With your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture feels moist, squeezing the dough with your fingers to form small clumps. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit.
