Rhubarb and Ginger Crumble


Rhubarb season is upon us and one of my favourite things to do with it (aside from dip in in sugar and crunch away) is make a crumble. Crumbles are probably the easiest and tastiest desserts to make and are delicious with custard and ice cream as well as on their own. This recipe was a bit of an experiment but judging by the rate at which it was eaten it was quite a success so I thought I would share it with you guys.

For the crumble
  • 100g finely chopped almonds
  • 100g cold butter or margarine
  • 150g wholemeal flour
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 75g brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
For the  base
  • 200g fresh rhubarb
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (can be more if you want a little extra spice)
  • 2 tbsps brown sugar
  • 1 can of ginger beer
* please note that these measurement are approx. as I tend not to weigh when I bake so feel free to add more or less of something if you need to.


Preheat the over to 180°c

Cut the rhubarb into 1" - 2" chunks then place into a saucepan with the sugar and ginger beer and simmer until tender.

Once the rhubarb is tender drain the excess juice off then place the rhubarb into a baking dish and mix in the grated ginger.

Mix all the ingredients for the crumble together until it resembles breadcrumbs, you can do this by hand or by using a food blender by using short pulses.

Put the crumble mix on top of your rhubarb base and place into the over to cook for 15 - 20 minutes.

Remove from the over, serve and enjoy!
