Oh Rhubarb, you stubborn, stubborn fruit. When I was living at home with my parents we used to have a huge plant in our back yard. Every year we would dig it up hoping to get rid of it and every year it would come back healthier than ever. Eventually it disappeared for good. I would love to drive down the road and take it off their hands. Instead I found a large stash at the grocery store this morning. It will have to do until I get my hands on a small plant of my own.
This recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp makes enough topping for two dishes so you can freeze half and be that much ahead next time.
