Spring Strawberries & Rhubarb with Miriam Rubin

Spring brings the bright color and puckery tang of rhubarb and its perfect partner, the strawberry. A delight for our tastebuds after a long winter. In this demonstration class Miriam will be making a favorite Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble with Toasted Almonds, an easier-than-pie yogurt Spoon Cake that will be paired with a different take on rhubarb compote, spiked with earthy ginger and vanilla bean. We’ll also simmer up a small-batch strawberry skillet jam that goes together fast. Spring never tasted this good.

Class to include:

• Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble with Toasted Almonds
• Spoon Cake
• Spiced Rhubarb Compote
• Small-Batch Strawberry Skillet Jam
