Food on Fridays with Ann

One of the vendors at the farmer’s market had one lone bag of rhubarb left on his table. I asked if he’d take a dollar less for that bag so he could be finished for the day, and he agreed.

So I went home with a bag of rhubarb.

What will I do with rhubarb? I wondered.

Never fear, I decided. I’d just poke around my freezer for some kind of fruit to mix with it, and poke around the Internet for a recommended recipe.

I knew that rhubarb was often paired with strawberries, but after poking around, I discovered that the girls used up the last of our frozen strawberries making smoothies. I still had frozen blueberries, however, and I figured that could be good.

Poking around the Internet, I turned up this super-easy and delicious recipe for Blueberry-Rhubarb Crisp, which I’ll include below:

Blueberry-Rhubarb Crisp6 cups diced rhubarb1 cup blueberries1 cup sugarTopping:1 cup rolled oats1 cup brown sugar½ cup flour½ teaspoon cinnamon½ cup melted butter or margarinePreheat oven to 350° F. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray. Combine rhubarb, blueberries, and sugar and pour into baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix well. Pour in melted butter and stir until moistened. Sprinkle topping over rhubarb and blueberries. Bake at 350° F. for 25-30 minutes or until rhubarb is bubbly and tender and topping is golden brown. Serve hot with ice cream of whipped topping. Easy!Enjoy some snapshots:

The crisp assembled, ready to bake.

Still bubbling, straight from the oven.

I accidentally flipped it upside down so that the topping is underneath.

Rhubarb and blueberries worked well together. And the oatmeal-brown sugar topping could make shredded tennis balls taste divine. I highly recommend this.

In fact, if I had more rhubarb, I’d mix up another batch right this minute.

Or maybe I’ll just look in the garage for some tennis balls…

    I was hoping that your recipe for Blueberry-Rhubarb Pie would eventually make it to Food on Fridays. I don’t really like Rhubarb, but paired with blueberries and oatmeal/brown sugar topping, what’s not to love? Looks scrumptious!

    Thanks for posting this tonight, too. Now I don’t have to get up early to link up before work! Off to bed!

    I used rhubarb too – with the more “traditional” strawberry in a pie. It was amazing! I will try your crisp too, we LOVE crisps!

    I am so curious about rhubarb, but I’ve never been courageous enough to try it. This recipe looks like something my family would like; I should take the plunge!

    My Food on Friday post is my cheese and chicken stuffed zucchini.

    Thanks!

    I just bought some fresh blueberries today because there on sale. I had no idea what I planned to make, but now I think I have an idea. The blueberry-rhubarb crisp looks delicious!
