I live in Minnesota and the season’s first harvest of rhubarb happens in May. Rhubarb, which is a vegetable, is tart and many recipes pair fruit and sugar to create a wonderful sweet and tart taste. In this crumble, the recipe calls for strawberries and sugar to balance the tartness of the rhubarb. If you have plenty of fresh rhubarb and are looking for another recipe, you may want to make a strawberry rhubarb jam (insert link to the jam recipe).
