Mo' Rhubarb, Mo' Problems...

Or not...
  
How on earth could you possibly find any problems with having too much rhubarb?  That's like saying I have too much money, pfff, doesn't happen..

Since I've already tackled loaves, pie, parfaits, and bars, the next item on my culinary-rhubarb bucket list is a crisp.
Individual crisps to be exact.  I like having access to my very own dessert bowl, plus, the ones remaining travel well, making them ideal to bring along to any summer BBQ or potluck.

Strawberry Rhubarb is a flavour favourite, but I always love to enhance it even more by adding in orange zest.  It's my secret (or now not so secret) baking weapon...
Enjoy!  Love JS.

2 cups rhubarb, chopped 1-inch thick
