TWD - Strawberry rhubarb double crisp


Rhubarb and strawberries seem like rather summery produce, so the timing for this week's Tuesday with Dorie pick by Sarah of Teapots and Cakestands is not quite perfect for anyone, it being early spring or autumn (depending on your hemisphere). Sarah chose Dorie's Strawberry Rhubarb Double Crisp as this week's recipe.

Luckily, here in the southern hemisphere, both rhubarb and strawberries were easily available.  This crisp features an oaty base and topping which contains both ground ginger and crystallised ginger, as well as walnuts, and is filled with cut rhubarb and a strawberry jam of sorts made with strawberries, ground ginger and sugar thickened with cornflour.

Here is my crisp:


This tasted rather good warm with icecream.  Not sure if I'll make it again yet, but it is certainly worth making.

To get the recipe, buy Dorie's book or visit Sarah's site.  And to check out what the other TWD bakers thought of this, visit the TWD website LYL section for this week.

    Fun recipe, so many possibilities. My daughter spent 18 months in Australia and loved it. Have a great day.

    Strawberries are in season so this would be just perfect to make.

    funny how you think rhubarb is summer fruit - I always think of it as winter fruit because it needs to be cooked - never heard of a double crisp before - sounds lovey

    I am so jealous that strawberries and rhubarb are available to you. We loved this too.

    The mother of one of my close friends makes a pie with these flavors - it even has an oat strusel topping - and yet I never thought about turning it into a crisp. Genius!

    I wish I would have served mine with ice cream. It was pretty sweet on its own. I loved the added ginger, too.

    This would be so great with ice cream, but I didn't have any. And I couldn't find rhubarb! But I made it work and it was delicious.

    Lucky you to find fresh rhubarb and strawberries! I can't wait to make this again when they finally come into season here. I didn't try ice cream with mine, so that calls for a whole other crisp. Yum.

    Oh, I love that round shape, it's so pretty. We can get rhubarb frozen here any time of the year and it is very good frozen actually. We all love it. Yours looks so pretty...I know I said that already, but it does, I'm making a round one next time.
