How do you make Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble?

In a large bowl mix together strawberries, rhubarb, a few tablespoons of flour and the sugar. Spoon into a baking dish. In a medium bowl combine brown sugar, the remaining flour, softened butter, rolled oats and the cinnamon. Using a pastry knife or fork cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle over the strawberry rhubarb mixture.

Bake until the top is browned and the mixture is bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.  The crumble is delicious just by itself or with a little french vanilla ice cream.  Leftovers should be stored in refrigerator.

Helpful tip for making Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

• Shop around for rhubarb via the telephone unless of course you grow it.  Sometimes it is difficult to find.
• Do not eat the leaves of the rhubarb. Remove them and discard them.  They can be toxic. Learn more at Modern Farmer on 6 Secretly Poisonous Plants.
• Add some nuts to the crumble.  It makes it even more delicious and really complements the fruit.  I personally like pecans but you could add sliced almonds or chopped walnuts.  As we say often in this house wear what you dig.
• I find that one half cup of sugar is perfect for this recipe bringing out the best in the strawberry rhubarb combination.
• This crumble is best baked the same day as it is served so the topping has a little crunch to it.  However that has never stopped me from eating it ice cold straight out of refrigerator with a spoon.

Oh my goodness!  Doesn’t this Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble look amazing?  It is making my mouth water.
