75g demerara sugar

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190F, gas mark5.

2. Mix the rhubarb, sugar and the juice and zest of an orange in a deep ovenproof dish, let this mature in the dish and eventually you’ll encounter a lovely sweet aroma.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the sifted flour, demerara sugar and butter with your fingers until the mixture goes crumbly and  resembles breadcrumbs.

5. Bake the crumble for approx 40 – 45 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve with ice cream and custard.
