Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

With fresh rhubarb recently available at the farmers market, we set about to make this delicious crisp. As rhubarb on its own is extremely tart it’s customary to combine with strawberries, also in season. Indeed, a match made in heaven. Serve with vanilla ice cream of course.

    • 1/2 cup white or turnbinado sugar (or half and half)

    • 4 cups halved strawberries
