Strawberry & rhubarb crumble

Strawberries and rhubarbs are two of my favorite things about spring and summer. To walk out barefoot in the morning to pick a bowl of fresh strawberries in the garden is a true luxury for me. Harvesting fruits, vegetables and berries from your own garden and not having to buy them from the supermarket – not much beats that. 

Even though I prefer to eat my strawberries raw, it’s also wonderful to sometimes use them in baking. Pairing strawberries with rhubarbs in a compote or jam is super delicious. The combination of sweet strawberries and tangy rhubarbs is so good it makes me wonder if they were once made to be eaten together. 

Speaking of favorites, let’s talk about another favorite – crumble. A fruit/berry crumble is such a perfect summer dessert if you ask me. It’s easy to make and you can use all the fresh produce summer has to offer. The filling can be changed depending on what you have at home, but using strawberries and rhubarbs is probably my favorite. You’ll find the recipe below.
