An attractive dessert, this crisp is also a popular breakfast dish at our house, served with a glass of milk rather than topped with ice cream. Because it calls for lots of rhubarb, it's a great use for the bounty you harvest. —Rachael Vandendool, Barry's Bay, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 5 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
