I know rhubarb is no longer in season.But, this year, I thought ahead about how much I love rhubarb and how I would probably want to use it when it was no longer available. And I did something about it.
I bought lots of rhubarb, chopped it into pieces, and put it in a large freezer bag.
Good job me!
I was able to make this delicious recipe a couple of weeks ago because I had frozen rhubarb. I didn't have to wait until next spring. I'm glad because this was a delicious little cake/bar.
This recipe was very similar to the Blackberry Crumb Bars I made a couple of months ago, mostly because they came from the same source, but I didn't care too much because they looked too good to pass up.
I made these for a birthday party and made sure that I was able to sample a piece. Yummy. Really yummy. The best part is that this dessert isn't overly sweet- the rhubarb gives a nice tang to it, but the crumbs on top add a great crunch and burst of sugar. Perfect.
Very close to being a favorite way to use rhubarb.
Thank goodness I still have some in the freezer.

I do the same thing -- we freeze the rhubarb from our garden so that we can enjoy it year round!! Can't wait to try these.
