**originally posted June 17, 2015.
I figured that since we haven't had this since last summer, AND these photos were horribly old, and not enough, that it was time to make this again, and take some new pictures. So here you have it!
We were actually in Publix over the weekend and I was buying some strawberries, well if you've never paid any attention the rhubarb just happens to be hanging out nearby. I guess this is because they go so wonderfully together. Anyway.
Zack said "you know what we haven't had in a while?", I say "what?" And just like that rhubarb gets tossed into the cart, along with the strawberries!
He is the one that usually makes this dish, but he was at work, and Kelsie and I really didn't want to wait on him. So she grabbed the bowls, heated up the oven, and we worked on this together.
It's really a very simple dish to make, and it doesn't take any time at all to toss it together and bake.
**This is from the original post**
My husband is from Indiana and I am from Alabama. He was telling me one day a few summers ago about this vegetable called rhubarb that looked like celery but was red and you eat it in desserts.
I didn't want any part of that! I'm a picky eater anyways, and I wasn't sure if I could dig eating red celery stalks in a dessert. He tried to tell me what it tasted like and how his grandmother made pies with it.
Again, I was not interested. Well, it just so happened that within a few days to a week we were at Publix and low and behold, rhubarb was in the produce department. He got some, made a crumble and the rest is history.
We enjoy this every time we see fresh rhubarb in the grocery store now!

I love rhubarb in desserts, especially like this crumble. It looks amazing! I love how your hubby explained it as red celery (very funny!).
ps. thank you for your recent comment on my blog!!
Joanna says
Thank you for stopping by! It totally looks like red celery, huh?! 🙂 Doesn't taste like it at all though, thankfully. Not sure we would ever make a dessert from it if it did.
Joanna says
Thank you for stopping by! I agree strawberry and rhubarb go together like peanut butter and jelly! 🙂
Debby Ray says
Well, I am a fan of rhubarb from waaay back. Growing up in Ohio, I ate this stuff all the time...we just would break a stalk off and dip it in the sugar bowl and eat it! My mom made strawberry-rhubarb pies and cobblers often! Your recipe looks fantastic and I just printed it off! Thanks for sharing!

Valerie Hart says
In the recipe for this Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble it states to mix the filling ingredients but in the list of ingredients there is no vanilla listed, so how much do you recommend to use?
Joanna says
Thank you for pointing that out! 🙂 I have adjusted the recipe to include the vanilla.
kelli says
Believe it or not but my dad has had rhubarb growing for as long as I can remember and we always eat it raw with some salt. I never had rhubarb cooked until a couple of years ago at a 4th of July party a lady brought this dish, it was delicious. Sad to say I haven't had it cooked since. Every year when our rhubarb grows I say I am going to make a crumble and I don't. We'll now that I have this recipe I am going to try it out. Thanks!
Joanna says
My husband says that is how he ate it growing up. They would just break off the stalks growing wild from their backyard and dip it into salt. His grandmother would make pies with it as well, but normally he ate it raw. I hope you get a chance to try this out. If you do, let me know what you think!
Melissa Vera says

Strawberries and rhubarb pie or crumble always brings me back to my childhood and summertime! It is probably my favorite dessert and every time I eat it it brings me back to sitting by a lake playing and having a picnic.
Joanna says
I love when food stirs up childhood memories!
Melissa Chapman says
This looks .like a great dessert or even snack for breakfast. I am also one of those less informed and never cooked with rhubarb which looks so good so I have to find it when it is in season.
Joanna says
It is delicious! If you ever see it in the store, you should get some and make something with it. I suggest this, but honestly, I just want people to try it out! 😀
Liz says
That sounds tasty. I think I've had something similar but I'm not sure if it was made with rhubarb or not. There used to be a German bakery near me growing up and she would make these squares that were similar, & delicious.
Joanna says
It totally could have been rhubarb! I have no idea where all it grows, but I do know it doesn't grow in the US in the south. 😉
m says
