Rhubarb Pear Crisp! + When I Developed a Fear of Produce

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I love to cook. I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am also known as the Snack Lady at Vacation Bible School.

subheading: Crisp Topping:

1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour (I used whole wheat, and it was great)

⅓ cup agave nectar (or ½ cup brown sugar, packed)

½ cup sugar

1 cup oatmeal

⅓ cup chopped toasted nuts (optional-I used walnuts)

1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, cold

subheading: Fruit Filling:

4 cups of rhubarb (about five stalks)

4 cups of pears (about 4 to 5 pears)

¾ to 1 cup sugar (I used this crazy “raw” sugar I had on hand, and it was fine)

1 ½ teaspoons grated orange zest (about 1 orange’s worth)

Juice of 1 medium orange (my Cara Cara proved too large-too much juice)

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

subheading: For Whipped Cream (optional):

1 cup heavy cream

2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
