Verna's Rhubarb Strawbrery Crisp

Rhubarb is so plentiful this time of the year. It just has to be teamed up with strawberries..
I made this recipe for some friends  tonight and they really enjoyed it. this is what I did.

Ingredients:

• 1 & 1/2 lbs chopped rhubarb
• 1 & 1/2 lbs of fresh strawberries hulled and quartered
• 1 ripe banana cut into small pieces
• 2 teaspoons orange zest
• 1/2 large orange,  juiced
• 1 teaspoon powdered Stevia
• 2 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

Topping:

For the topping I used :

• 1 1/2 cups of granola that I made a few weeks ago.
• I added 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance 
•  1/2 cup brown sugar
•  1/2 of a large orange juiced

If you don't have granola, do the following:

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4  cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance
• 1/2 large orange, juiced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix together all of the items listed in the ingredients and press down in a 13" by 9"  glass pan that has been sprayed.
3. Mix granola mixture or the topping together. 
4. .Sprinkle the topping over the fruit.
5.  Bake about 40 minutes. The fruit should be bubbly and the topping golden.

This is really good, give it a try.

Enjoy!!!
