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

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