Dessert - Just Had To Make....... - cjs - 05-20-2007
all my talk this week about being more healthy....darn neighbor brot over more gorgeous rhubarb and what was a person to do???? 
I don't think I'll ever combine rhubarb and strawberry again!!! This turned out so wonderful -
Rhubarb & Raspberry Crisp
1 1/2- 2 lbs. rhubarb, cut into 1" pcs. (about 4 cups)
2/3 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 c. fresh or frozen raspberries (I used frozen from last summer)
Crumb topping:
1 c. a.p. flour
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
8 T. (one stick) cold butter, cut in small pieces
1/2 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. chopped toasted walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a 2-qt. baking dish, combine the rhubarb, sugar and flour. Set aside while making the topping.
Combine the flour, b. sugar and cinnamon. Using a fork, or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour mixture until you have large crumbs. Add the oats and nuts; combine well.
Sprinkle the raspberries over the rhubarb mixture and top with the crumb mixture.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until sticking a knife into the rhubarb shows it's tender.
Man, is this a good combination!!! The neighbors liked it also... now back to healthy...

This sounds wonderful, Jean! We all need a treat now and then. This is one of my favorite types of dessert. Wish I had a neighbor to give me fresh rhubarb. My mom used to cut it up and simmer it with some sugar, then chill it. We ate it just like applesauce. Yum!

Jean, my little sis makes the raspberry and rhubarb crisp, but she uses flavored jello gelatin or the strawberry jello. I bet the real berries tasted so much better.

I would think so too, Billy.
