Rhubarb Season: Raspberry Rhubarb Crunch

I love RHUBARB!

Of course, not everyone develops a taste for this tart and tangy morsel.  That's fine with me and my family. We love it!


This recipe is simple and easy. I keep frozen raspberries on hand this time of year.


All you need is a flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, tapioca, quick cooking oats, butter and cornstarch.

Look at those beautiful pink and red stalks. Squirrel likes to eat it raw. You should see his facial expressions. Talk about making a person pucker!

Chop the rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces and mix it in a large bowl with the raspberries.



Gently toss those with the tapioca, sugar and cornstarch. Place them in a greased 9 X 13 pan. Start on your crunch topping - brown sugar, flour, quick cooking oats and butter.

The crumb topping. I could eat this stuff out of the bowl!!


Serve this warm with vanilla ice cream! Yum!

I would invite you over to enjoy dessert, but my family doesn't share very well - especially rhubarb!



Stay tuned for another rhubarb recipe this week!

  3. Up until last week I didn't even know what rhubarb was. Then we visited an organic farm that grew it. I didn't order any because I wasn't sure what you'd use it in, but it's gonna be on my next order for sure!! This looks delicious!! I would love to see more recipes!! Thanks for posting this!! :o)

  4. P.S. I really like how you describe yourself in your About Me section up there!! How cool to be a 7th generation cattle farmer! The people who own the farm across the street from us have 500 acres and do the same thing. Looks like a very fun lifestyle!! :o)
