Hello.
I thought I would quickly share a very delicious dessert with you today. Our raspberry bushes are finally winding down and I’m quite happy about that. Although I tend to complain about all the picking, those red berries do make some fabulous desserts, pies, shakes, etc. One of my favorite pairings is rhubarb and raspberries. Add a buttery crumbly topping and it’s over the moon fantastic!
We love nuts in this house, but you can certainly banish them. This crisp is just the right amount of sweet, and the rhubarb mixed with sweet berries gives it that kick of tart from below. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and you have the perfect dessert after a meal.
Sorry for the lack of pictures this time around, I was lucky to snap just one.
Oh so yummy!
I looked out my living room window the other morning, and happened to see this cute little guy eating a raspberry. I ran for the camera, which sadly had my 50mm lens attached. Not good, for zooming in on a squirrel eating a raspberry from a dirty window! This is the best I could capture with that lens.
Next year, I think I will enlist several of these little guys to help me pick all those raspberries. Hee hee.
I’ll be back soon . . .when I’m not knee deep in the garden.
In the meantime, make this dessert!

Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Rhubarb and raspberries .. delicious dessert:)
This looks so delicious! Rhubarb is one of my favorite fruit additions for pies, but I have never tried it with raspberry. I can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for posting!
Hi Jordan,
It is really good! We have so many raspberries in the summertime, I seem to add them to everything.
Try it, you’ll enjoy it.
Thanks so much,
Jonna
when i was a child, my aunt would have me walk to the train tracks and pick wild rasberries (they are amazing!), so that she can mix them with the rhubard she grew. however, she didn’t make pie or crumble, but JAM! and like you said, it truly is a pair made in heaven. (one of the many)
