Rhubarb raspberry crisp

A few years ago, my in-laws brought us some rhubarb plants from their yard in San Diego. Most of the plants couldn't handle the Bay Area winters, but we do have a few that are still standing. I had enough rhubarb in the yard to put together this rhubarb and raspberry crisp.

I was out in the yard yesterday and noticed that our largest rhubarb plant has grown some more stalks, which means I can make another rhubarb dessert in the near future.

  21. I should really try rhubarb again...all I remember was eating some pretty gross rhubarb out of our backyard as a kid (no sugar I think was the problem) and I haven't touched it since.

  43. I love Rhubarb. One of my favorite desserts in England was rhubarb crumble - very similar to this dish. We would like to grow some, but the extremes of temerature in Oklahoma make it difficult. I just know this was yummptious.

  45. Sara, your photos are so gorgeous! And I love this Rhubarb-Raspberry combo better than Rhubarb-Strawberry. I'll bet this was so delicious!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Lovely pictures! I've yet to cook with rhubarbs!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Fruit crisp *and* black raspberry ice cream? That sounds heavenly! :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. The pic of raspberries look fabulous.
    I bet the streusel topping is cripsy and delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love crisps so much, I usually make mine with apples. This is a great combo.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love the raspberries in there...so yummy! Rhubarb crisp is just the best.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Great crisp! I'm allergic to raspberries... do you think blackberries or strawberries would be a good sub in? Probably blackberries would give the most similar texture, right?
    Thanks Sara!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Marta - I would use cherries or strawberries. Blackberries might be a little too tart with the rhubarb. But you could try blackberries and just up the sugar slightly!

    ReplyDelete
  53. This dessert looks so warm and comforting. I love the combination of raspberries and rhubarb.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh this looks outrageously delicious Sara!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Beautiful! I love rhubarb, I guess we have a hardier type here in Canada.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Sara, your photos are gorgeous! I was thinking about making a crisp with all the cherries that are in season around the Bay Area, but maybe I'll do this instead.
