Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp (or just Rhubarb Crisp)
I'm going to put two recipes up here. One is the strawberry rhubarb crisp from Ina Garten. The other is the rhubarb crisp recipe from my mom. My friend also mentioned that she always doubles the topping on crisp recipes which does not sound like a bad idea at all! Also, I usually find rhubarb at Winco around spring/early summer.
Strawberry Rhubarb crisp from Ina Garten
Total: 1 hr 25 min
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 1 hr
Yield: 6 servings- Ok Ina, that is six huge servings.
Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb, 1-inch diced (4 to 5 stalks)
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved, if large
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal, such as McCann's
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the fruit, toss the rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar and the orange zest together in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it into the fruit. Pour the mixture into an 8-by-11-inch baking dish and place it on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
For the topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt and oatmeal. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter and mix until the dry ingredients are moist and the mixture is in crumbles. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it completely, and bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream.
My mom's rhubarb crisp: (also serve this with vanilla ice cream)
4 C rhubarb
Topping:
1 1/2-2 C sugar
3/4 C Flour
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 C butter
Line ungreased pan with rhubarb. Cover with topping and bake at 350 for 40-50 min.
Ok, after looking at my mom's recipe, I think I would make Ina's recipe with 8 C rhubarb. I love the taste of brown sugar and the texture from the oatmeal.
