Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch

AuthorfoodiesinourthirtiesCategoryDifficultyBeginner

Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch! This perfect summer dessert is a longstanding family tradition since the recipe was written by my grandma for her churches cookbook and was a staple during family gatherings. My grandpa would grow the rhubarb in his backyard and now my parents have the transplanted rhubarb plants to keep this tradition flourishing for future generations. I have made a few adjustments from the original recipe like adding strawberries and cutting down the white sugar. This is absolutely a crowd favorite and perfect for upcoming summer holidays! Best served with vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip! Enjoy friends!
