Rhubarb Crisp

mliss29's Note:

I was about the only rhubarb lover the time I made this, so I got most if it to myself! ;) Of course it's good with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It's from Ladies Home Journal 100 Great Pie & Pastry Recipes.

This is the first pie I've ever made and 1st time to cook rhubarb... Turns out everyone loves it!! Thanks ;) Btw, drained a bit of the water does help.

I used 8 ounces of frozen rhubarb and 8 ounces of frozen strawberries. It was a bit watery like you can see on my photo but this is very tasty. Not too sweet. If you like it sweet, you can add more sugar. Thanks Mliss. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

This is outstanding using fresh rhubarb. I"m wondering if it's because of using brownsugar instead of most crisps using just regular sugar. Anyway, this get 5+ stars. Thanks mliss....Made for May's AU recipeswap 08'
