Ingredients
- 500g of fresh rhubarb (tastes even better when picked from your garden!)
- A generous splash of rhubarb gin
- 100g of plain flour
- 100g of ground nuts or oats
- 100g demerara sugar or golden caster sugar
-100g butter
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Step 2: Chop rhubarb into chunks (thumb length) and place into a large saucepan with a splash of rhubarb gin and a sprinkle of sugar!
Step 3: Cover and simmer on a very low heat for 15 mins.
Step 4: Once soft, pour the rhubarb into a medium size baking dish.
Step 5: To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour, nuts/oats, sugar and butter by hand. You do not have to make the mixture smooth - the clusters add to the crumbly texture!
Step 6: Sprinkle the topping over the fruit in your baking dish ensuring an even coating.
Step 7: Bake in the oven for approx 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8: Serve with a scoop of ice-cream or custard and a rhubarb gin & tonic - enjoy!
