Equipment
  • 1 deep, oval, ovenproof baking dish approximately 30cm x 20cm (12in x 8in).
  • 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 10 fresh rhubarb sticks cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 8 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¾ cup wholemeal or all-purpose flour
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1.5 pounds rhubarb outdoor or seasonal, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 2 cups raspberries or strawberries or a combination
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 tbsp instant tapioca
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated orange zest plus 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas 4.
    Prepare the rhubarb: Cut the fresh rhubarb into 3-inch pieces and place them on an oven tray.
    Sprinkle with 4 tbsp of water and the caster sugar.
  • Roast the rhubarb: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the rhubarb for 10 minutes.
    Prepare the crumble topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
    Mix until a breadcrumb consistency forms.
    This will create the crunchy topping for your rhubarb crumble.
  • Include ginger and orange zest: Add 1 tsp of ground ginger and 1/2 tsp of grated orange zest to the roasted rhubarb and 2 tbsp of fresh orange juice or lemon juice for an extra zing.
    Assemble the crumble: Transfer the roasted rhubarb mixture to the base of a deep, oval, ovenproof baking dish measuring approximately 30cm x 20cm (12in x 8in).
    Then, cover the rhubarb with the crumble topping, pressing it down gently.
  • Bake the crumble: Place the assembled crumble into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown.
    Serve and enjoy: Once the cooking time is complete, remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    Serve your Mary Berry Rhubarb Crumble warm with a side of double cream, custard, or ice cream.
    Dig in and enjoy this delightful dessert's fruity filling and crunchy topping!
