Fresh rhubarb and sweet cherries are harbingers of spring. We love this flavor combination and look forward to it all year round until rhubarb is in season. Tart and crunchy when raw, rhubarb turns soft and flavorful when baked, which is why it's so often used in pies, crumbles, galettes, and cakes during the springtime. In this version, it nicely complements the savory crumb topping of flour, old-fashioned oats, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and cold butter. You can substitute raspberry or apricot preserves for the cherry preserves to bring in a different element and to mix things up a little bit, if you like.
