My grandparents grew a ton of stuff in their garden, including rhubarb and strawberries. We typically baked it into pies and cobblers, but then Mom found this recipe and it became a fresh, new favorite. —LeeAnn McCue, Charlotte, North Carolina

Very simple and easy to make. My family does not like rhubarb, so I subbed blueberries for the rhubarb but did use the strawberries. Other than that made the recipe as stated (except did cut back some on sugar since not using rhubarb). My family gobbled it up.

This is a lovely summery and light recipe. Sweet enough and with a fresh lemony twist. I loved it!
