Strawberry-Rhubarb Irish Crumble with Irish Whiskey Butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
- 5 cups quartered strawberries
- 3 cups sliced rhubarb, about 1/3-inch thick (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- Pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
- To make the Irish whiskey butter, place the butter in a mixing bowl and whip until fluffy.
- With the mixer running, gradually add the confectioners' sugar.
- Slowly add the Irish whiskey until combined.
- The mixture may look separated and curdled at first but if you continue whipping, it will come together.
- Topping may be used at room temperature or chilled.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 7-by-11-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Toss to coat.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium, mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, light brown sugar, and salt, stirring to combine.
- Add the diced butter to the flour mixture, and using your fingers, work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the crumb mixture evenly on top of the strawberry mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve warm with a spoonful of the Irish Whiskey Butter.
