STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB BANANA-BETTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
• Slice rhubarb thinly (crosswise). Place in 9-inch (24cm) pie plate.
• Sprinkle sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon over rhubarb.
• Slice strawberries thinly. Place on top of rhubarb.
• Sprinkle handful of raisins and squeeze half lemon over fruit (try to keep seeds from falling into fruit; save the last squeeze for the betty (below)).
• In medium to large-size bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
• Add banana and butter to mixture and blend all together until cohesively crumbly.
• Arrange mixture relatively evenly over fruit and then pat down.
• Microwave on high 9 minutes.
• Remove from microwave, squeeze last drops of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of sugar over betty, and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes; turn up heat to 400 F (200 C) and bake for another 10 minutes. [I think it would have probably been best to leave the microwave out of it and just bake the entire time. It should be baked until the top browns somewhat].
• Let cool.
