STRAWBERRY RHUBARB DUMPLINGS

You’ll Need
– ½ cup (about 1 stalk) sliced rhubarb
– ¾ cup chopped strawberries
– 1 – 8-ounce can crescent roll dough
– ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
– ¾ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ cup lemon-lime soda

How To

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-inch-by-9-inch pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the strawberries and rhubarb together.
  3. Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the 8 triangles from each other.
  4. Place a spoonful of the strawberries and rhubarb on the wide end of the triangle, then roll up like a typical crescent roll. Place in the baking pan and repeat with the 7 remaining triangles.
  5. Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl.
  6. Stir the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon into the butter, then pour evenly over the dumplings in the pan.
  7. Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges of the pan.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown on top.
