STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COBBLER
I have been meaning to share this recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler for a while. Typically, strawberry season and rhubarb season run hand-in-hand. In most parts, the prime season for this fruit and vegetable is between April and June. I was surprised to learn that rhubarb is actually a vegetable. I don’t think I have ever treated it as a veggie. I’ve always eaten it in sweetened desserts.

WHAT DOES RHUBARB TASTE LIKE?
Rhubarb actually tastes pretty similar to green apples. It has a slightly tart taste. So, you can actually use it as a pretty acceptable substitute in those recipes where it calls for a green, tart apple. Most times, it works perfectly! This super simple Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler is topped with a slightly crunchy oatmeal crumble mixture. I added just a tad of cinnamon to the mixture to give it a bit more depth of flavor. It works really well with this recipe. If you want a super simple cobbler recipe, you gotta hop over and see my SKILLET CHERRY COBBLER! Also, my BANANA BREAD COBBLER is pretty spectacular too – ha! 
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
rhubarb
strawberries
sugar
cornstarch
all-purpose flour
for the topping:
all-purpose flour

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COBBLER:
