Rhubarb Crisp

in the winter.
Yes-Sir-Ree
My taste buds are jumping with joy because I froze rhubarb last summer.
.warm.
.sweet.
.sour.
A perfect treat for a cold winter day.


Mix until crumbly:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup regular oatmeal
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Set aside.

Dice 4 cups rhubarb (I normally use more like 5 or 6)

To make syrup:
In a saucepan,(whisk together sugar and cornstarch before adding liquids)
combine:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 T cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Cook until thick and clear.

*Place half of the crumbs in a greased 9 inch pan. Spoon diced rhubarb over the crumbs. Pour syrup over rhubarb, top with remaining crumbs. Bake at 350* for 45 - 50 minutes.

Yummy!!

You don't have to convince me; rhubarb is, hands-down, my favorite! I have some frozen also; maybe now would be a good time to get it out.
