  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

How to make Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp :

1

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Toss until the fruit is well coated. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

3

Make the topping: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

4

Assemble the crisp: Evenly spread the oat topping over the fruit filling in the baking dish.

5

Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

6

Cool and serve: Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Recipe Notes :

Sweetness: Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your strawberries and rhubarb. If using particularly tart rhubarb, you might want to add a bit more sugar.

Frozen fruit: If using frozen strawberries or rhubarb, you may need to increase the baking time slightly, and avoid thawing before mixing to prevent excess moisture.

Additions: Feel free to mix in a cup of blueberries or raspberries for added flavor and color.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Serving suggestions: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious contrast to the tartness of the fruit.
