Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, arrowroot, ground cloves, and ground cardamom.
  3. Add the thawed frozen strawberries and diced rhubarb to the sugar mixture. If using, add a few drops of red food coloring for vibrant color. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Pour the fruit mixture into a buttered 1.5-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, quick-cooking rolled oats, grated lemon peel, and nutmeg. Use a pastry blender or fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Note

If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it first, drain thoroughly, and reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup to account for the extra moisture.

For a vegan version, ensure the butter is substituted with a high-quality vegan butter or coconut oil.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
