"RHUBARB was one of the first crops Grandma gathered from her garden in spring. She told us kids her rhubarb sauce was a good tonic for whatever ailed us, but we much preferred the delicious dessert she served after Easter dinner. This Rhubarb Crunch was so delicious with fresh cream skimmed from the top of some milk."

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb. Look for stalks that are firm and plump, with a deep red color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly. Rinse the rhubarb stalks well and cut them into 1-inch pieces. If the rhubarb is very tart, you can sprinkle it with sugar and let it sit for a few minutes before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb. Rhubarb only needs to be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices. Rhubarb pairs well with a variety of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Serve rhubarb crunch warm or cold. Rhubarb crunch can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you serve it warm, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb crunch is a classic dessert that is easy to make and delicious. With its tart and tangy flavor, rhubarb crunch is a perfect way to end a meal. Whether you serve it warm or cold, rhubarb crunch is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
