Rhubarb crunch

I have fond memories as a child grabbing mother’s sugar bowl and running out to the rhubarb patch where we would break off the large leaves (poisonous) and the curved white bit at the bottom, licking the end of the rhubarb stick (more sugar that way) and dipping it in the sugar bowl.  With each bite we would dip again.  

Now I am not endorsing letting your (grand)children eat that much sugar, we could go through an entire cup of sugar in our day. 

I still do like rhubarb and here is one of Grandma’s recipes remade to be gluten free.

• 1 cup gluten-free flour
