Got some fruit crisps ready for the freezer (and one in the oven). Over the summer I freeze a bunch of fruit so I was able to make these with the blueberries, blackberries and strawberries I had.

22 minutes until one comes out of the oven!




Thanks to whoever brought up pies and crisps. It's a great idea to sit by the fire, read and have a crisp while listening to the snow pelt the house.

Lol, the leaves are slightly poisonous, I think you have to eat a wheelbarrow full of the leaves to get sick.
I love rhubarb! Grew up on it. We were poor growing up we ate rhubarb on biscuits like most people ate strawberry shortcake. Or on icecream. If we didn't have icecream we ate rhubarb goop in a bowl.
Chunk rhubarb boiled in water, strain the water into a container, add sugar, chill/add ice sweet and tart kinda like pink lemonade.
And yup ronnet1 it's been used as medicine, a natural laxative. I never noticed it though.
Easy to grow, requires basically no tending to, once you have a bed in it lasts forever, a lifetime or more.

Never saw rhubarb in my life. I thought its poison

I thought a Rhubarb was a reason to call Wisher to stop a fight.
