There’s always something refreshing about spring—the brighter evenings, the cleaner house and the anticipation of summer are all a part of it. But the best part of all might be the fresh produce hitting the grocery store and farmers market. We’re stocking up on carrots, greens and asparagus for the dinner menu, plus eyeing all the fresh fruit for dessert.
That includes sunny citrus, like lemons and limes, plus strawberries and even rhubarb. Though rhubarb is technically a veggie, we can think of plenty of ways to transform the rosy stalks into a deliciously sweet-tart treat. Even Ina Garten has revealed herself to be a huge fan of rhubarb’s mellow sourness. The Food Network star took to Instagram to share her recipe for aRaspberry Rhubarb Crostata, which she says is her favorite sweet treat for spring.
“Crostatas are a great way to celebrate any season—peach in summer, apple in winter—but my favorite spring dessert is a Raspberry Rhubarb Crostata,” Garten wrote on Instagram. “The rhubarb is tart, the raspberries are sweet, and it all comes together in a buttery crisp crust. I hope you like it as much as I do!!”
