Rhubarb Butter Crunch recipe
Andrew Norton
This recipe comes from Lovina Eicher who maintains a homestead in rural Michigan with her husband, Joe, and together they are raising their eight children. Lovina contributes snippets of her traditional Old Order Amish life in a weekly column, Amish Cook, that appears in various newspapers across the country. Rhubarb Butter Crunch Ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh, finely chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
Topping:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups raw rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
Mix rhubarb, sugar and flour well and place in a greased baking dish. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake at 370 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve warm with milk or cream (or ice cream - yum!).
