It's Rhubarb Time! Got any recipes?
Here's one of mine:
Rhubarb Crisp
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 cups sliced rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
In mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter and cinnamon; mix together until crumbly. Press half of the brown sugar and oats mixture into a buttered 8-inch square baking dish. Top with the sliced rhubarb. It can be a 9 inch square dish, or a 12 x 7 inch one as well. Might take a bit more rhubarb.
In a saucepan combine 1 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the 1 cup of water and vanilla. Cook together until clear, then pour over rhubarb.
Top rhubarb with remaining crumb mixture and bake at 350° for 45 to 55 minutes.
Good warm with Cool Whip.
