Simple steps to make strawberry rhubarb at home
Let's quickly go through the steps that you need to follow as you make the delectable, crumbly, and gooey strawberry rhubarb at home. The process is pretty simple so don't have to worry about creating a mess.
The oven is preheated to 350°F so that the temperature is ideal inside the device to bake the dessert. While the oven is being preheated, let's focus on the batter and the filling, shall we?
All the crumb topping ingredients are mixed together. This includes flour, baking soda, salt, melted butter, two types of sugar, some oats, and vanilla essence. Press the crumbles slightly on the plate such that it flattens up and settles down.
Now coming to the filling, you need to mix the rhubarb with the pre-cooked Strawberries and lemon juice. In another bowl, you need to whisk the sugar with some cornstarch to create a slurry which is dropped over the fruity mix.
Lay this fruit mixture on top of the base and then finally layer with the crumb toppings once again. Baking is initially done for fifty to fifty-five minutes or unless the topmost layer becomes golden brown. When the top begins to bubble, know that the dessert is ready.
Now all you need to do is bring out the baking tray and let the dessert cool down at room temperature first. You are just a few moments away from enjoying this hearty dessert after the meal.
Once it has cooled down, you can cut the slices and enjoy as much as you want. However, if you have some extra that seems to be left behind then store these crumbly bars in an airtight container or mason jar. Do not put the container in the refrigerator or the filling will get soggy over time.
