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.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive on this brioche bun recipe is if it can be used to make hot dog buns. It sure can! is how I always respond, supplying a rough guideline on how to do so. And while these exchanges in the comments section have been sufficient over the years, I thought it was time to give a hot dog bun recipe its own space. Here it is, a no-knead recipe, the dough identical in makeup to these brioche buns, with the mixing process simplified even further. If...
... perhaps we should brush up on our bagel-making? 🥯🥯🥯 Hi Friends, There is a bakery* in Bolton Landing that makes excellent bagels, chewy but light and perfectly seasoned. Every time we visit Lake George, we pick up a dozen and eat them all week, toasted, slathered with cream cheese, and topped with juicy, thick tomato slabs: It's heaven. This week I found myself missing those bagels, so I decided to make a batch. I hadn't made bagels in ages, and I had forgotten how quickly the dough comes...
Friends, hello! As you may know, we've spent the week at Lake George with Ben's family. The weather cooperated, our simple meal plan delivered, and the kids spent every second on the lake, swimming, fishing, wakeboarding. As planned, we grilled every night, until the last, yesterday, when the groceries ran out, forcing us to order pizza instead 🍕🍕 It came from the Hulett's Landing Marina, which has a lovely little shop with all the essentials from coffee and beer to pizza and dried pasta to...
