sweet sweet summer


The busyness of summer has kept me from blogging in far too long!  Time to catch up...  My mother and brother stayed with us for a much anticipated, but too-short visit in July. While here, I persuaded her to demonstrate making a strawberry rhubarb crisp. I mentioned that mine always comes out a little too dry, so she gave me her trade secret to a perfect batch. (We can both thank my Nana Marguerite for creating the original recipe.) I'll reveal that the secret really is in the sauce!  


We shared the final baked dish with my in-laws and everyone loved the result.  Delicious!  

Odessa rhubarb and Tacoma strawberries were a match made in heaven

Glazing between layers = flavor booster!

The crumbles are just the right consistency
