Ingredients

For the Irish Whiskey Butter:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Irish whiskey

For the Crumble:

5 cups quartered strawberries
3 cups sliced rhubarb, about 1/3-inch thick (fresh or frozen and thawed)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
Pinch salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced

Directions

To make the Irish whiskey butter, place the butter in a mixing bowl and whip until fluffy. With the mixer running, gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Slowly add the Irish whiskey until combined. The mixture may look separated and curdled at first but if you continue whipping, it will come together. Topping may be used at room temperature or chilled.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 7-by-11-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.

In a medium, mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, light brown sugar, and salt, stirring to combine. Add the diced butter to the flour mixture, and using your fingers, work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour the crumb mixture evenly on top of the strawberry mixture.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Serve warm with a spoonful of the Irish Whiskey Butter.

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family at Easter to rave reviews. I plan on making it again for the 4th of July with fresh rhubarb from... the farmers market. The Irish whiskey butter is so good on the warm crumble.Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a St. Patrick's Day dinner party, and it was so good. The recipe is very easy to make, and the results will... put a smile on everyone's face. I had to use frozen rhubarb because it was a little early for fresh. I can't wait to try this with fresh rhubarb from the Farmer's Market this spring!Read more

not irish with the addition of strawberries!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

From an Irish/scottish person (parents and family are irish) and had all my holidays in Ireland although grew up in... Scotland. I will tell you that adding strawberries to rhubarb is 100% American. In the UK and southern Ireland, we love ruhabarb but are purists. We have plain rhubarb pie, crumble (the same with apple) with no additions. I personally prefer it that way as strawberries detract from the pure deliciousness of rhubarb. Try this with plain rhubarb (the amount of sugar depends on the rhubarb). THEN the word 'irish' can be inserted in the title. If you love traditional strawberries and rhubarb combination then you will like this.Read more

Excellent Flavor and so easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a brunch dish and it was outstanding. You do have to check the sweetness and freshness of the fruit with how... much sugar to add. I used fresh rhubarb and great strawberries and I still used a little more sugar. I served it warm with a little chiffonade of fresh mint. It was even BETTER after it sat a couple of hours. Next time I will make it early to let the flavors blend and then reheat. The whiskey butter is over the top. I am going to make it again for Kentucky Derby and call it Southern Comfort or Jack Daniels butter. Easy and great. Read more

At the last minute we decided to spend St. Patricks Day at home and this was our choice for dessert....OMG it was awesome! ... The Irish Whiskey Butter was good, but you could use any whipped topping and it would be heavenly!Read more

easier than pie and even better!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for an Irish themed dinner party. My friend had asked if I could make a strawberry rhubarb pie and I agreed even... though I'm not a big fan of pie. I came across this recipe looking for other Irish food and decided to make it instead. It was easy to make and tasted great. I'll definitely make this again sometime soon.Read more
