  3. 3
    Add the rhubarb pieces, raspberries, and lemon juice to the dish; mix gently but thoroughly to coat the fruit.

  6. 6

Note

Serve warm with raspberry or lemon sorbet, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream if desired.

If using fresh raspberries, ensure they are dry to prevent excess moisture in the filling.

For a gluten-free variation, ensure your matzo meal is certified gluten-free (made from oats or rice) or substitute with a gluten-free flour blend, though traditional Passover matzo meal is wheat-based.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
