Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Okay, the photo does not do this justice.  It was a-maz-ing!  But, I am not a photographer, so you will sadly have to endure my horrible lack of proper focus, and make your own.
Recipe (It is the result of a few different ones I found, and logistics.  I only had so much rhubarb.)
Ingredients:
3/4 lb  Rhubarb, chopped
1 1/2 pints Strawberries (approximately) cut into quarters
2/3 cup Sugar
Zest and Juice of One Orange
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cube butter, unsalted (8 tablespoons) cut into small pieces
1/2 cup rolled instant oats

Grease 9x9 baking dish.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the rhubarb, strawberries, orange juice and zest, and sugar.  Put into 9x9 baking dish.  Add enough strawberries to make the dish a little more than 3/4 full.  In another bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, oats and butter, until it makes a crumbly topping.  I used a fork, got impatient and finished with my fingers.  It doesn't have to be all perfectly combined, just mostly.  Spread as evenly as possible over the fruit.  Put in the oven for more or less 40-45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.  Serve warm with ice cream.  And then again for breakfast.  Brilliant for breakfast.
