Summery Rhubarb Crisp by Val Tobin
Refrigerate unused portions. It tastes great cold, too. I’ve sometimes mixed in apples or strawberries if I don’t have four cups of rhubarb. Adjust the sugar to taste.
We have rhubarb growing in our garden and end up with huge harvests throughout the summer. We start picking it in May, and the plants keep us in tasty rhubarby treats for months to come. This recipe for rhubarb crisp is one I use frequently, not only because it tastes great, but also because it uses up four cups of rhubarb and is quick and simple to throw together Ingredients •
4 cups of rhubarb, chopped into small pieces

½ teaspoon of salt
•
1.25 to 2 cups of sugar (depending on how sour the rhubarb is)
