Rhubarb And Pear Compote Food

STEWED RHUBARB

Steps:

• Wash the Rhubarb and discard the bottom of the stalks and leaves.
• Slice the Rhubarb into small pieces and place them in a medium size Pot. Add the Water, Sugar and Lime Juice & Zest (optional). Stir to combine.
• Place on the stove on low to medium heat and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rhubarb pieces are breaking apart (1), occasionally stiring. The stew is ready once most of the rhubarb chunks have turned into a thick sauce (2).
• Remove from the heat and leave to cool down completely, then transfer into a sealed jar. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

RHUBARB & PEAR CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. For the topping, tip all the ingredients together and rub with your fingers until you have a rough pastry, then set aside in the fridge.
• Peel the pears and chop into large chunks, then chop the rhubarb into finger-length batons. Tip into a large ovenproof dish and toss with the sugar and orange zest and juice. Crumble over the topping and bake for 40 mins until golden and bubbling at the sides. Leave to cool for 5 mins before spooning into bowls and serving with custard or ice cream.
