This recipe is a trusted standby when I am having company and have not planned far enough in advance to make a cheese cake or any other dessert that I want to dazzle them with. Good served warm with ice cream or cold. I, however, prefer to eat it warm.
Grandma Hunt's famous Rhubarb Crisp
(sorry I don't have a picture. You will just have to trust me on it.)
1 cup flour
3/4 cup uncooked oatmeal. I use old fashioned. Always have and cannot guarantee results with any other type.
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup melted butter. I never use margarine.
1 tsp cinnamon
4 cups rhubarb Sometimes I use 1/2 mountain blackberries and 1/2 rhubarb.
1 cup sugar
2 Tbs corn starch
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
Cook sugar, corn starch and water until thick. Stir constantly. add vanilla.
Mix dry ingredients and melted butter until crumbly.
Press 1/2 mixture into a greased 9" pan.
Cover with rhubarb then the cooked sauce and top with the rest of the crumbs.
Bake @ 350 degrees for one hour.
Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or plain. Enjoy:)

Thanks for posting this. I have never tried rhubarb, can you describe what it might taste like? I always worried that it is sour?
Probably totally wrong on that.
I LOVE any dessert with rhubarb! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Dawn, you must just try it. The taste is hard to describe. Yes it is tart, but that is why there is so much sugar. I think the closest I can compare to is goose berries if you have ever tried them. Be brave and try it.
And you call this a NON-dazzling dessert?? Oi Vey!
Hun, I would be happy with eating this, at ANY time!
I had to get rid of all my rhubarb,(because of the daycare kids) but I have a friend who's got it taking over her entire yard, so I might give her a call. :)
have posted the classic rhubarb recepie have a peek!
Zach is so excited to try this. They have this thing here called "egri" and I have no idea what it is, but he wants to treat it like rhubarb and make a recipe of it. So we will try it. :) Thanks
