Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
4 cups fresh rhubarb, diced into 1" pieces (about 4 med. stalks)
1¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
1½ tsp. grated orange zest
1 TBSP. cornstarch
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ tsp. salt
1 cup quick-cooking (not instant) oats
6 oz. (1½ sticks) cold butter, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Toss the diced rhubarb, strawberries, ¾ cup of the granulated sugar, and the orange zest together in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it into the fruit. Pour the mixture into an 8" × 11" glass or ceramic baking dish and place it on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper (this step is important as the fruit juices will likely overflow the pan during baking.).
  • To make the topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt, and oats. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter and mix until the dry ingredients are moist and the mixture has a crumbly texture. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it completely.
  • Bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
