Rhubarb Crunch

Rhubarb Crunch

The Original Recipe:
I found this on food.com. YUM! It had just enough sweetness to balance the fresh rhubarb. A friend of ours from church gave us a bunch of rhubarb, and I still have strawberry rhubarb jam from last year and wanted to make this into a pie or crumble. This was the way to go! I had never really made rhubarb anything before. I just cleaned it, and chopped it. It turns to a bit of mush once cooked, so the bigger chopped pieces weren't a problem.
