Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp
The spring dessert partnership that works every single time — tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries under a crunchy oat-butter topping. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this is the first real dessert of the growing season. Simple, forgiving, and impossible to dislike.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- rhubarb (3 cups, chopped)
- strawberries (2 cups, quartered)
- raw honey (1 tbsp, optional)
🛒 From the Store

How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: rhubarb (3 cups, chopped), strawberries (2 cups, quartered), raw honey (1 tbsp, optional), granulated sugar (1/2 cup, for filling), rolled oats (1 cup), and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: rhubarb (3 cups, chopped), strawberries (2 cups, quartered), raw honey (1 tbsp, optional).
- The topping should be clumpy, not sandy — use cold butter and pinch it into the oat mixture with your fingers until you have pea-to-marble sized chunks. These chunks bake into the crunchy clusters that make a crisp a crisp. If the butter is warm, everything blends smooth and you get a flat, dense cap instead.
- Cook for approximately 50 min. Adjust to taste and serve 6 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
