Submitted by nadia murray

"This is a tasty combination of sweet and tart. I love rhubarb but the raspberries add another dimension that is really good. Although this recipe calls for fresh rhubarb, I think frozen would work well here."

Very good! I used frozen strawberries instead of raspberries and it was just as good. Thanks
