15 Strawberry-Rhubarb Recipes That Scream 'Summer'

If your refrigerator is packed with a bounty of fresh strawberries and rhubarb this summer, there are tons of fun recipes to help put them to good use. Whether you bake them into a pie, tart, crumble or crisp, strawberries and rhubarb are a winning combination that scream 'warm weather'. Just take this slump (one of our favorite rhubarb desserts) for example. It's a simple, rustic recipe that consists of stewed fruit and a raised dough top. Although some slumps are a perfectly golden piece of puffed pastry, this recipe is more like a big boiled dumpling over cooked fruit, which slumps when you put it on the plate. It’s soft and chewy, so dig right in—after topping with a dollop of freshly-whipped cream, of course.

Rhubarb pie is a classic recipe, but it’s even tastier when combined with plump, juicy strawberries. This recipe is a great way to maximize the sweet and sour flavors of rhubarb, perfectly encased in a crisp, buttery pie shell. Ground cinnamon and vanilla extract help add bold, complex flavor.

This seasonal dessert takes some of the season's most vibrant produce—like strawberries and rhubarb—and turns them into a sweet, refreshing crisp. Orange juice and zest help add bright, zippy flavor, which is easily balanced with a scoop of cool, rich vanilla ice cream. This easy recipe is best served warm so the ice cream melts just slightly with every bite.

Strawberry shortcake is a classic dessert recipe that’s easy to assemble and serve. The traditional recipe is ultra-sweet, so we’ve amped up the flavor profile by adding tart rhubarb to help balance out the sweetness.
