Hi

Can you still get some Rhubarb? I think the Rhubarb-Raspberry cobbler I made early this summer is one of the best tasting dessert in a long time!!

Rhubarb & Raspberry Crisp

1 1/2 lbs. rhubarb -- cut into 1" pcs. (about 4 cups) (1 1/2 to 2)
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. cold butter -- (one stick) 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...

Marina, if you have room in your freezer, I'm pretty sure you can spread them on a cookie sheet, freeze and bag. Fruit freezes well in my experience, but raspberries are not one I've ever done before. Still, I can't see why it wouldn't work. Then, they'll be waiting when you make up your mind which dessert you're going to make with them

I freeze them every year. Do not wash, spread on a cookie sheet, freeze until solid and then bag. Great. Use in muffins (lemon raspberry muffins), Our favorite Home made ice cream is raspberry swirl. If using in a muffin or desert you would use whole berries - add them to the recipe frozen, do not thaw. They will retain their shape better. And don't forget Jam!

I can attest to the sorbets. I juice Santa Rosa plums every year, and also raspberries and then use the juice in making sorbets. I'll post a couple of recipes for you. I think I served raspberry sorbet with a little bit of lemon-rosemary sorbet on top to Jean one time. Was a big hit.

Lemon Rosemary Sorbet II

Recipe By :Bill Cotton
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts-Ices

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup fresh rosemary -- finely chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup *Limoncello -- more or less

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a low boil; add rosemary and let simmer for 1 minute; remove from heat and using a fine strainer remove the rosemary; let cool.

In a large measuring cup, add the cool rosemary simple syrup, the lemon juice and Limoncello to make ~3 to 3 1/2 cups.

Mix thoroughly and chill in the freezer until very cold. By pre-chilling the mixture you will shorten the time needed to freeze the sorbet.

Pour mixture into the ice cream machine and then turn the paddle accessorie on. Sorbet will come up to the very rim of the container and be a fine icy mixture when done.

Remove to containers and keep chilled in the freezer until ready to serve.

*The Limoncello should be added by taste. When you are satisfied with the taste you have added enough.

NOTE: This flavor is enhanced by adding about a tablespoon of cranberry sorbet on top of the serving.

1/2 vanilla bean

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 7 minutes ot let the vanilla infuse. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous pieces of vanilla pod or clumps of seeds. Let cool and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Rinse the berries and spread them in a single layer on a towel to dry. Hull the strawberries, is using, and cut them into quarters.

Just before serving, combine all the berries in a large serving bowl and pour on just enough of the vanilla syrup to lightly coat them, about 3 Tbs. Toss gently.

NOTES : The original recipe called for blueberries and strawberries instead of the marionberries and loganberries. I am not that fond of blueberries and allergic to strawberries, so I substituted them out.


If you have never tried a granita [granite] they are delicious too, not as fine and smooth as a sorbet, but nevertheless delicious.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.
