Rhubarb Berry Betty Recipe

Rhubarb Berry Betty Recipe

  • 4½ cups cubed day-old sourdough bread, with crusts removed
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb (about 1¼ pounds untrimmed ribs)
  • 3 cups sliced strawberries, blueberries and/or other berries
  1. Combine the bread, brown sugar, butter, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla in a large nonreactive bowl; mix until smooth. Reserve half the bread mixture. Mix the remaining bread mixture with the rhubarb.
  2. Spoon into a 9×13-inch baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place on a rack in the upper third of the oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and stir in the berries; the dish will be quite full. Top with the reserved bread mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer or until bubbly and brown.
  4. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
