Definitely a show stopper. I love the variety of fruit and the way the flavors meld to make this dish. I also added chopped pecans on top. Thank you for sharing.

Oh my goodness! This stuff should be illegal! 10 stars for sure! LOL I too love rhubarb and the combination with the fruits was awesome! I also loved that this was so simple - the streusel was some of the easiest I've ever made - no cutting in butter to make the crumbs...yay! :) I just wish these fruits were in season all year long so I could make this all the time LOL Thank you so much for the recipe!!
