500g/1lb 2oz Rhubarb

100g of Soft Brown Sugar

50ml Water

Crumble:

200g/7oz Plain flour

Method

1.       Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4

3.       In another bowl sift the flour.  Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the flour and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

5.       Add the flour mixture evenly over the top of the rhubarb and lightly pat down.  If you like you can add a sprinkling of extra sugar on the top.

6.       Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is lovely and golden and the rhubarb is bubbling through the edges.

7.       Serve hot with ice cream or double.
