Gay Cook’s Fresh Rhubarb, Strawberry Crisp

Gayby Gay Cook

An old-fashioned apple crisp dessert has been a favourite for many years but here is one with a new twist using fresh rhubarb perhaps out of a local garden and fresh local strawberries. If available, use pink rhubarb stalks that tend to be somewhat less tangy in taste than the dark green rhubarb stalks.
