Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp {New} + 6 More Favorite Rhubarb & Strawberry Recipes to Make Right Now
|
Hi Friends, Last month, after finally getting this blueberry crisp recipe to a happy place — where the topping didn't disappear into the fruit below, and the filling didn't taste overly sweet — I began experimenting with other fruit, namely the classic combination of strawberries and rhubarb. The beauty of pairing strawberries with rhubarb is twofold: one, the flavors complement each other, and two, it allows you to use less sugar, as the strawberries provide a nice amount of sweetness. Unlike the blueberry crisp recipe, in which I removed all of the sugar from the filling, I was not able to do that here — I tried! The rhubarb is just too tart and needs a little bit more sugar than the strawberries can provide on their own. The upshot of leaving some of the sugar in the filling is that it allows you to use the lemon-sugar trick: zest a lemon into the sugar, then rub the zest into it — this releases the oils in the lemon, heightening the lemon flavor. (Learned this trick from Dorie Greenspan via the Martha Stewart Show years ago, and I use it every chance I get.) Though I have only tried lemon, I think orange or lime would work well here, too. Get the crisp recipe here and find a few more favorite rhubarb and strawberry recipes below.

Hi Friends, Often this time of year, my children spend a long weekend or more with my parents, who treat them to all sorts of goodies, including strawberries and cream while watching Wimbledon. (I know: what a life?) This year, as they find themselves at home with me instead, they've been requesting said berries and cream, and I've happily obliged because it's SO easy: pour a few tablespoons of heavy cream into a bowl, top with sliced strawberries (or other berries), sprinkle with sugar. It's...
Hi Friends, At the start of this week, when summer finally arrived in Upstate New York, I found myself at the grill making chicken souvlaki and had a revelation: while it's hot, why not put it to more use? So I threw some peppers on the grates alongside the chicken, figuring I could use them in this favorite (no-peel) salad dressing or to have on hand for sandwiches or salads: The peppers took much longer than the chicken... ... and because I may have forgotten about them, and because they...
Eat peanut noodles! And cold overnight oats! And watermelon gazpacho! (And make a sourdough starter from scratch... see below :)) Hi Friends, I would be lying if I said I had turned my oven off, stocked up on cucumbers and watermelons, and turned to all of my favorite no-cook recipes, because it has been very rainy and not summer-like at all here in Upstate New York. But apparently the heat is coming! And depending on where you are, you might already be experiencing it. If you are, I can't...
