Strawberry rhubarb crumble, take 2

A while back I posted a strawberry rhubarb crumble using oats, which was delicious, but still lacked the “crumble” I was craving. So here is take two (still using honey instead of sugar), with a dough-ier crumble.

You will need:

For the crumble

  • 1 1/3 cup unbleached flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 stick of butter, melted
  • zest from an entire lemon
For the filling
  • 1 1/2 cup rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch

Sir together flour, baking powder, butter, lemon zest & honey. Mix until it becomes crumbly, then refrigerate until you are ready to use it. Next mix together rhubarb, strawberries, lemon juice, salt, cornstarch & honey. Pour fruit mixture into a greased 9×9 pan, then top with crumble pieces. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes, then broil an additional 5 minutes on low.

This is a prefect way to use up all that rhubarb from your garden or the farmers market!  I definitely achieved the crumble I was going for and the lemon really wows your tastebuds. It tastes like rhubarb/strawberry goodness, topped with lemon bars. Serves well with vanilla ice cream.
