RHUBARB AND CUSTARD CRUMBLE
Method
- For the roasted rhubarb, preheat the oven to 200C
- Cut the rhubarb into 15cm or so lengths (about the length of a wooden spoon-handle) and place in a roasting tin with 2 tablespoons water and juice and zest from orange and the light brown sugar
- Roast until just soft enough to take the point of a knife, about 10-15 minutes
- Allow to cool, then drain, reserving the cooking juices
- In wine glasses, add a layer of the stewed rhubarb and syrup and a layer of custard
- Place in the fridge to set
- For the crumble, preheat the oven to 180C
- Line a baking tray with baking paper
- Rub the flour, butter, sugar, ginger and almonds together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs
- Sprinkle the mixture onto the lined baking tray and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the crumble is crunchy and golden-brown
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely
- Once the rhubarb and custard has set, top with baked rhubarb pieces and some almond crumble

Rhubarb and custard are a match made in heaven and a little toasted crumble on top will make it even more memorable.
