Rhubarb was really not a food that we had in our family growing up. I always sort of thought of it as a midwestern thing. My friend Cathy turned me on to it when we were in college and I just loved its tart flavor. It?s not sweet at all raw but when paired with sugar in a cobbler or pie it becomes fabulously sweet and tart all at the same time. The cast iron skillet adds a wonderful rustic quality as well.

INGREDIENTS

Crust:
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
Filling:
4 cups chopped rhubarb 2 cups raspberries
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp mace
3 tbsp butter

PREPARATION:

  1. Blend butter, flour, sugar, and baking soda to a pebble-like consistancy.
  2. Combine chopped fruit, sugar, flour, and mace and place into a cast iron skillet.
  3. Pack crumble mixture on top.
  4. Top with butter pats.
  5. Bake in a 400 oven for 40 minutes or until fruit is tender. Serve with a dollop of organic vanilla ice cream.
