Rhubarb & Ginger Crumble

When tart rhubarb meets the warm spice of ginger and a golden, buttery crumble topping, you get a dessert that’s both comforting and bright. This Rhubarb & Ginger Crumble captures the best of seasonal fruit with a ginger twist that lifts every spoonful — perfect with a scoop of ice cream or a generous dollop of cream on top. Simple to make and impossible to resist, it’s the kind of treat that turns everyday ingredients into something special.

Ingredients

2 or 3 bunches of rhubarb – you want about 5 cups of diced raw fruit altogether.
3 tablespoons of Hakanoa Ginger Syrup
OPTIONAL – 2 tablespoons extra sugar for the rhubarb
1 & 1/2 cups of plain white flour
3/4 cup raw sugar
50 grams butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
OPTIONAL 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method

Preheat your oven to 160c
Trim and wash the rhubarb stalks. Dry and cut into 2cm lengths.
Toss the rhubarb with the Ginger Syrup making sure it is well coated, then tip it into your buttered baking dish.
NOTE – about the optional sugar – I like my rhubarb rather tart, because I intend to serve this crumble with Appleby Ginger Biscuit Ice Cream. If you want your rhubarb a touch sweeter, add an extra 2 tablespoons of sugar with the Ginger Syrup.
Put the flour, cinnamon & sugar in a bowl and mix well. Rub in the butter lightly to make a sandy mixture. Mix in the walnuts – again these are optional, but I like the extra crunch.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish. Press with your fingertips to create dimples in the crumble.
Bake for 60 to 90 minutes, until the top is nicely golden brown with a few puddles of pink rhubarb juice bubbling through.
Let the pudding rest for 10 minutes before serving, or you risk burning a few eager tongues.
