Mother's Day is right around the corner and this dessert would be the perfect thing to make for any mother in your life, or anyone really. I saw this dessert in the most recent issue of Bon Appetit and it practically jumped off the page. The bright red rhubarb and raspberries with a partially whole wheat crust. So rustic and beautiful.There are a few new mothers around here that I was going to visit, so I decided to make a few smaller crostadas that would be the perfect size for sharing
. I threw together the crust the night before and in the morning it didn't take me long to prepare the filling and bake these little guys up.
I made circles with my dough, although the circles were not perfect, as you can tell by the ragged crust in these pictures, and made sure to leave the 1 1/2-inch border, so there would be enough crust to fold over the filling. The crostadas baked up beautifully and made the perfect gift.
I had a little bit of filling leftover and it was very good. This was a great treat for May.
Here is the recipe for Rhubarb and Raspberry Crostada from Bon Appetit
I love crostatas, and this one looks particularly enticing! That ruby red fruit oozing out...perfection.

Just love the combo of raspberries with rhubarb. My rhubarb is ripe and ready to pick, so this sounds like a crostada calling me!
