Photo: Rhubarb-Strawberry Crisp Recipe
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.

Ohhh my! This versatile recipe is a delicious combination of sweet and tart. I've been making it for years and it's always a hit! I like my crisps with chunks of identifiable, great tasting fruit. So, absent the core, I leave strawberries whole and cut rhubarb (fresh from the garden into 1" chunks. I always add extra strawberries and rhubarb without the addition of more topping. Serve warm with a good vanilla ice cream and you just can't go wrong!

I really like this recipe. It was easy to downsize. (I didn't have 4 cups rhubarb, one one cup. I also substituted a mixture of marmalade and white wine to replace the Grand Marnier. It worked very well. I'll definitely repeat the recipe.

Kudos to Emeril for this spectacular rhubarb recipe. The recipe is easy, and the ingredients are simple. I substituted orange juice for the orange liqueur. It has a medley of taste sensations. It is the #1 recipe requested by family and friends when rhubarb season is here.
