PEACH RHUBARB CRISP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, nutmeg, lemon zest, salt, rhubarb and peaches. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. , In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over fruit.

RHUBARB PEACH LEMONADE

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: In small saucepan, combine the water and sugar together. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature (apx. 30-40 minutes). Add the lemon juice and lemon rind. Let mixture steep for at least an hour (or up to three hours) to allow the flavors to blend. Strain mixture twice through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lemon pulp and rind. Discard the pulp and rind.
• For the rhubarb and peach juice: Combine the rhubarb, peaches (and their stones), and water in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until rhubarb and peaches are completely softened and mushy.
• Place a large sieve over a big heatproof bowl or large measuring cup. Line the sieve with 3-4 layers of damp cheesecloth.
• Remove the rhubarb and peach mixture from the heat and discard the peach stones. Use a potato masher to mash down the mixture. Pour mixture into the sieve, letting the juice drip through. It may be necessary to use the back of a large spoon to very gently press the pulp in order to extract all the juice out of the rhubarb and peaches. This should yield about 6½ cups, depending on the age and juiciness of the rhubarb. If it is slightly less than 6½ cups, up to ½ cup water may be added to bring the amount to 6½ cups.
• To assemble: In large jug or bottle, combine the strained fruit juice with the simple syrup and lemon juice mixture. Stir well. Chill.
• To serve: Stir the chilled lemonade and pour into glasses. Add ice cubes and garnish with a lemon slice, if desired.
• Lemonade will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Freezes well.

RHUBARB PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch any drippings. Butter a 9 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
• Place the flour, 1-ounce sugar, lime zest, and 1 teaspoon salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 3 to 4 times. Add the butter and lard and pulse until the mixture just becomes crumbly. Sprinkle or spritz the mixture with the ice water a little at a time and process just until the dough holds together when squeezed in a fist. Place the dough into a 1 gallon zip top bag and form into a disk. Place the dough into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, while you prepare the filling.
• In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the rhubarb, peaches, and lime juice.
• Remove 1/3 of the dough from the bag, pinch into pieces and distribute evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. With the remaining dough still in the bag, roll it out to a sheet large enough to cover the top of the dish. Pour the fruit mixture into the dish and top with the dough that has been removed from the bag, pressing the dough into the corners of the dish. Bake, uncovered, for 60 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and starting to turn golden. *If using frozen fruit, increase cooking time to 90 minutes.
