Rhubarb Crisp

We have about 10 rhubarb plants growing along the side of our barn that are HUGE (that's what she said). I've never weeded, watered or treated these plants in any way over the last 4 years and they never fail to produce an amazing crop.  I have to admit, rhubarb isn't my favourite however my husband is a huge fan.  I've made stewed rhubarb, rhubarb muffins, loaves, and crisps but have never made rhubarb pie.  That will be my next mission.  Tonight I tried out a new crisp recipe.  Hope you like it :)

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 cup flour

3/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats

1/2 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 cups rhubarb, chopped

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla

MethodIn a bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter and cinnamon; mix together until crumbly. Press half of the brown sugar and oats mixture into a buttered square baking dish. Top with rhubarb. In a saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and the 1 cup of water and vanilla. Cook together until clear, then pour over rhubarb. Top rhubarb with remaining crumb mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
