Classic Rhubarb Crisp
Rhubarb is in season in Alaska! It is one of my favorite vegetables since it is high in vitamin K (like Kale and Spinach) which helps develop and strengthen bones, many other vitamins including vitamin C, anti-oxidants, and many important minerals.
Health aside, its great in dessert. Rhubarb is one of the least calorie dense foods. We like to fix that issue with some butter and sugar.
This recipe is from my aunt Jeanette who resides in Palmer farm country and has made it for the past 30 years. I’ve added a few personal touches such as nuts, oats, and cinnamon into the ‘notes’.
We are both born and raised in Alaska, land of the midnight sun and fishing at 2am. We love to find new ways to use fresh ingredients or put a modern spin on an old Alaskan classic. We hope you will enjoy tasting Alaska.
