Serve Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble with Vanilla Ice Cream - Blue Willow Dessert Bowls

(Post modified on 5/25/23.)

Every May I begin looking for fresh rhubarb in the grocery stores. My mom used to grow it in her garden, and I miss having the fresh vegetable to make rhubarb pies. So yummy.

So far, I haven’t seen rhubarb in the stores yet, but I am hoping it will be available soon. Fortunately, I happened to freeze some of the fresh rhubarb from last year’s supply and used it in this recipe.

 

To Freeze Fresh Rhubarb

It’s simple to freeze fresh rhubarb. Simple wash and trim the stalks (much like you would for celery).

Cutting the Rhubarb

Then slice into 1 1/2″ pieces. Place the slices in a quart freezer bag and remove as much air from the bag as possible. You may store rhubarb in the freezer for up to 6 months, although I have kept mine for as long as year.
