As many of you know, food is my “language”. For the good times and the bad, happy and sad, I often use food to remember things. And these crumble bars are no different really. Yes, just crumble bars but they are lingonberry and rhubarb. You see, a couple of weeks ago, another dear friend passed away. She was from Sweden, so that is the lingonberry connection. Rhubarb had been an inside joke of our for many years — she had once had a dream in February, that I had an over-abundance of rhubarb (in February? In New England?) so ever since then, I would make her rhubarb treats and learned to keep some in my freezer. This recipe, anything with cardamom and the Marabou brand of Swedish chocolate will forever remind me of her. She will be missed.
