| Rhubarb with a Streusel Pecan Topping |
And I couldn't be happier.
I had one pie crust and plenty of rhubarb filling. What to do?
A wonderful, sweet, and hands-on fun solution came to me: pecan streusel topping.
I used breadcrumbs instead of flour, cane syrup and brown sugar, coconut lard, and chopped pecans. If you want to know how much of each, my best guess is "enough."
This dances up a rhubarb pie better than anything else I've ever thought of. I am tempted to make all my rhubarb pies this way.
I might make several other kinds of pies this way just to make sure it's really good and not just an aberration.
One can't be too careful.

I adore adore adore the RHUBARB!
No one else in my family does---but me :)
Carla, we've got plenty and we'd love to share.
That looks damned good! Love rhubarb pie.... and pecans!
My grandfather was a huge fan of rhubarb. I haven't had it in, probably, twenty years and may have to correct that soon.
Bag Lady, I feel the need to brag: it was.
David, that's way too long to go without rhubarb.
Rhubarb pie is my absolute favourite. That lookslike heaven.
Thanks, Laurita. I'm not sure I can go back to a pedestrian two-cruster now.
SUPER SUPER idea. I would never go back to "pedestrian Two-cruster" now either!
And guess what my word verification is? "CATER"
It's a sign.
We are all coming over for pie.
Thanks, Dawn. You'd best get here quickly. Said pie is not long for this world.
OH! Now that we've had breakfast here, what's for lunch?
Betty, I'm working on a recipe with something Turtlesque as the base. How's that for lunch?
That sounds like a topping that would make any fruit pie sing. Thanks for sharing, i'll experiment.
Messymimi, I'm curious as to your take on it.
Oh that looks yummy! I'm going to have to give rhubarb another try one of these days. I remember not liking it the few times I tried it but that was.. decades ago. It sounds like it's worth another try. I DO love pecan topping though. Yum!
Hilary, the trick is to cook the rhubarb first, sweeten with at least some cane syrup (yeah, I'm biased) and then thicken and smooth the flavour with a starch. The topping puts it over the top.
oh, that sounds good Leah!
Thanks, Reb. It is.
I'm a big fan of rhubarb crumble and your topping sounds delicious. Bet it would work just as well on other deserts too.
Dawn, I'm convinced it would work with anything.
I can almost taste it, Leah! It smells great, too! I just started growing rhubarb this past summer. It hasn't really matured, so, I haven't made anything with it yet. I used to eat it lots growing up as my mom had lots of great ways to use it.
Redbush, I wish you a fine patch of rhubarb.
