Ingredients

4 cups diced rhubarb
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, and halved, if large
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar
Pinch salt

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, orange zest, cornstarch and orange liqueur, and toss to thoroughly combine. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole or baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared casserole.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 9 tablespoons of butter, flour, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar and salt and cut together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit and bake until the topping is golden brown and crispy and fruit is bubbly in places, about 45 minutes.

Cool briefly and serve warm, with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or creme fraiche, if desired.

loved it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had to finally put away so my boyfriend and I would stop going back to eat it. I couldn't imagine it being any sweeter-... some people here must have a really sweet "sweet tooth". As for too much orange, I didn't add the zest and it turned out perfect.Read more

NOT A GOOD ONE PEOPLE
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made this because I love rhubarb and I read through the reviews and some people made it sound so good. It was not good to... me at all. I ended up throwing it away. My family didn't like it either. It wasn't sweet like a dessert needs to be. It was actually pretty bland. I made more of the crumb topping then what it called for. That topping is excellent and would be good on other things. I say make this if you dare but it isn't good and I would never make it again unless I added a lot of sugar. Read more

Easy but spectaculary good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved this recipe. It was both tart and sweet at the same time. I would probably use a cup each of more rhubarb... and strawberries without adding more sugar. YUMMY!Read more

What's all the fuss about
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

this recipe? I agree, too much orange flavor. However, at least the orange gave it some flavor. We were very disappointed.... Will not make again.Read more

Orange Crisp
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

There was just too much orange flavoring. I couldn't even taste the rhubarb or strawberries, I only tasted the orange.

Super and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was super and easy. Only change I would recommend it to double the amount of the crumb mixture.
