Here I am again with another fantastic rhubarb recipe!

I found this recipe in an old cookbook years ago and it's since become a yearly family favorite. The original name was Alaska Sweet 'n' Sour Rhubarb Crunch and it was submitted by a Mrs. Judy Haffner. Old church or community cookbooks have always been a favorite of mine. The recipes are just like Grandmas and so fun to make.

This crisp is heavenly served with some freshly whipped cream or ice cream. The rhubarb is sweet and tangy, and the crisp topping is crunchy and so delicious. It's been a hit with everyone, any time I've made it.  

If you're a rhubarb lover like me, then try this Baked Sticky Rhubarb Pudding, Rhubarb Cream Cake or Rhubarb Muffins!

• This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9x13 baking dish. 

• Try substituting fresh chopped fruit for some of the rhubarb. So many great flavor combos!
