It’s Rhubarb Season! I adore the tartness-sweetness of rhubarb in desserts. So, look for stalks that are firm, crisp and blemish free, if the leaves are attached, be sure they are not wilted; and store rhubarb unwashed, in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Now, watch and learn how to make this super easy and quick Rhubarb Raspberry Crumble. A crumble is a mixture of fruit topped with a crunchy topping; the result is similar to a crisp. These individual servings crumble are made with rhubarb and raspberries (however, feel free to use strawberries or any berries in season) topped with a blend of butter, brown sugar, flour, and grated orange zest. If you are a rhubarb lover or aren’t a rhubarb convert, this simple dessert will sure win you over.
