Have you noticed all the strawberries at the grocery store recently? To me they are a sign of spring just like the daffodils which I can see out our kitchen window. I couldn't resist buying a quart the other day and made this delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble from a recipe on Smitten Kitchen. I used some rhubarb from the freezer. Rhubarb is difficult to grow here but it is one of DH's favorites and he has a small patch in a shady area of the yard. I have also made this using other fruits such as blackberries and peaches. This would make a pretty and tasty dessert for Valentine's Day too.
Here are some pictures of the various stages:

Are you making anything special for Valentine's Day this year?

Your berries look delicious! I (personally) am not making anything special for Valentine’s Day dessert because one of my daughters is in charge of the kitchen all this week. Last night we had delicious cheesecake…and no guests for this special dessert…only us! So good! I did spot a Costco container of strawberries in the fridge, so she has something planned with those. Every night is a secret meal….i could get used to this!

My daughter is making chocolate chip cookies for her “Valentine,” a not-quite-a-boyfriend-yet!
Do you ever use rhubarb on its own? In my family we never put it with strawberries, but most recipes combine the two. Straight rhubarb pie is delicious!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your comment. I have made rhubarb pie in the past when we lived in Ohio and in Michigan. Here in South Carolina it is such a rarity that I don’t usually have enough rhubarb by itself for a dessert. Once when I bought some at a local store the clerk didn’t even know what it was–she asked if I was buying beets!
