Time for fresh fruit! If you can, head to a “You Pick” farm to pick your own favorite fresh fruits & try this recipe.

Right now rhubarb is in prime season and it’s terrific in this crisp when mixed with other fruits or berries.

No matter what kind of fruit you do choose this recipe is a good source of fiber, Vitamin C, and other antioxidants. A perfect way to sweeten up a picnic or BBQ!
