Succulent Saturday

For Independence Day, I made a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. Mentioning this on twitter caused all sorts of comments.  I did not know people were so passionate about rhubarb. I’m firmly on the side of rhubarb lovers, but understand the aversion to it, what with the toxicity and all.

But I wasn’t thrilled with the strawberry rhubarb pies I’d made in the past using other recipes. So I rifled through my cook books and All Recipes and put out a plea for help on twitter. And this is what I came up with. It’s pretty dang good.

The filling gooshed over a bit, making it less pretty. Still yummy!

    …and do you have a rhubarbAcrisp recipe? I used to have a great one, but can’t find it. Last one I tried from allrecipes came out gooey. I’ll try this when i get home. Cabin oven is unreliable.

    I don’t have one I’m thrilled with. Maybe I’ll try that next. I did a cobbler recipe a couple of weeks ago: http://www.oddlysaid.com/?p=670

    Summer’s great for experimenting with fruit desserts. Okay, next week look for a crisp recipe!
