Strawberry and Rhubarb Crumble

1 Reply

Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

What You Need

  • 4 cups thinly sliced fresh rhubarb
  • 6 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup all purpose flour*
  • 1 cup sugar*
  • 1 stick unsalted butter cubed at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour

How to Prepare

Whisk 1 cup of flour* and sugar* together until well blended in a mixing bowl.  Toss strawberries and rhubarb into flour and sugar mixture until well combined.  Let sit for about 1 hour.  This really helps the crumble stay in its shape.  

To prepare crumble, blend the cubed butter, sugar, oatmeal, brown sugar, ½ cup of flour with hands or spatula in a mixing bowl.  Mix crumble ingredients until well combined. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Transfer fruit mixture into a ceramic baking dish.  Pat crumble mixture on top of fruit and pat down lightly to seal.  Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees.  The strawberry rhubarb crumble is done once the top is browned and fruit juices are bubbly.

Serve in a small dish with and top with creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.

*Amounts of flour and sugar may need to be adjusted to due juiciness of fruit.  More flour and less sugar if using very ripe strawberries.

Enjoy!!
