Rhubarb & Strawberry Crisp - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 -5 stalks rhubarb, sliced into 1 inch pieces
    3 -4 cups fresh strawberries, halved
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 pinch salt
    1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
    1 cup rolled oats
    1 teaspoon cinnamon (honestly I use more)
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I use more of this too)
    4 tablespoons butter, cubed (make sure it is cold not room temp.)
Preparation
    In a large mixing bowl combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and the pinch of salt, stirring together well.
    Spoon mixture into an 8x8 in (20x20 cm) glass baking dish.
    In a second bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter, and stir with a fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit mixture.
    If using oven, place in a 325F preheated oven, and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and fruit is tender.
    If using an outdoor grill, position the pan on a cool side of the grill (that means for a gas grill no heat directly underneath). Maintain the heat to a medium-low temperature (around 300F). Close lid of grill and cook 25-30 minutes. Make sure to rotate the baking dish on the grill about every 8 minutes for even cooking.
    Either way, the fruit should be tender and the juices bubbling when finished cooking.
    I love serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
