Harvest Crisp

We felt the desire to have a bit of something sweet on Saturday. We looked into the fridge and found some strawberries and rhubarb. Then we recalled that there was a gallon of pears prepared to make a crisp in the freezer. We pulled it out, thawed it, and added half of them to the crisp. You could substitute any fruit, but I'd try and keep the rhubarb to retain some tartness.
