ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup sugar

TOPPING
- 1⁄3 cup pistachios, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
directions
- If berries are frozen, slightly thaw. In a bowl, stir together sugar and flour. Add fruit to sugar mixture, tosing well and spread mixture into baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 375.
-
Topping:
- Coarsely chop pistachios. In a bowl, mix the flour and sugars. Cut the butter into cubes with your fingers or a pastry blender, blending the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add pistachios and toss well.
- Squeeze a handful of topping together and coarsely crumble in chunks over filling. Squeeze and evenly crumble remaining topping over filling in same manner.
- Bake crisp in oven until filling is bubbling and topping is crisp and golden, about 50 minutes. (can be done in advance).
- Just before serving, heat crisp in 300 oven for 20 - 30 minutes until just warm. Serve with ice cream or frozen yogurt.
- Note: When measuring out the fruit. I just add the blueberries and enough rhubarb to the baking dish, taking in to allowance the shrinkage of cooking. If no rhubarb is available, just use all blueberries.

Very nice! I don't think I've ever bothered to cook rhubarb. Seeing as I can't seem to kill it off in the garden, I figured it was trying to tell me I should. This really fit the bill. Followed as directed, except used slightly less butter trying to save few calories (maybe 4 tbsp instead of 6). I chose this recipe because it didn't use a ton of sugar in the fruit mixture...so you still get quite a bit of the rhubarb tang. Unfortunately no pistachios on hand so walnuts instead...everyone said it was very good. Thanks Abby, I'll be making this again.
