GINGER RHUBARB CRISP

Steps:

• Move an oven rack to the center of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the white sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, salt, eggs, orange zest, and ginger together in a bowl until well combined; stir in the rhubarb. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Thoroughly combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon by pulsing in a food processor or blender. Stir in the oatmeal; crumble the oatmeal mixture over the rhubarb. Gently pat the topping down to make a crust.
• Bake on the center rack of preheated oven until the topping is lightly golden, the rhubarb has fallen apart, and the juices are very thick and bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Check frequently after 30 minutes to see if bubbles are thick.

RHUBARB & GINGER CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. First, make the topping. In a bowl, rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add in the oats and sugar, and stir with a wooden spoon to form a coarse crumble.
• Spread out the crumble in an even layer on a baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for 15 mins until golden, with larger clusters of crumble formed. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, stir through the nuts.
• Next, make the crumble filling. Melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan, then add the sugar and vanilla, and give everything a good stir. Tip in the apple and cook for 5 mins, stirring constantly, until the apples have turned into a thick purée. Once the apples have broken down, add the rhubarb and ginger. Stir well, then simmer for 5 mins until the rhubarb has just begun to soften. Pour the filling into a bowl and leave to cool.
• Once ready to eat, divide the crumble filling into six individual pie dishes, or one larger dish if you prefer, then top with the crumble topping. Can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge, or frozen. To reheat from frozen, cook for an extra 15 mins until piping hot throughout. Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 mins, until bubbling throughout. Serve with the clotted cream.

• Pile the crumble on top of rhubarb. Bake until crumble is golden and the rhubarb mixture is bubbling up on the sides, about 40-50 minutes.

RHUBARB BUCKLE WITH GINGER CRUMB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; butter a 9-inch round baking pan.
• Make the crumb topping: mix together the sugar, flour, and candied ginger in a bowl; stir in the melted butter; put the crumb mixture in the freezer while you mix the cake batter (this chills the crumb so it will not immediately melt into the cake when baked).
• Make the cake: whisk the flour, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on med-high speed until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
• Add in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Stir in the flour mixture in three additions alternating with the buttermilk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
• Gently fold in the rhubarb.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle the ginger crumb over the cake.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm on top.
• Store--wrapped in plastic wrap, the cake will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days.

RHUBARB WITH BERRIES AND CANDIED GINGER

Steps:

• 1. Wash the rhubarb, trim off the ends of the stalks, then slice them crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. If the stalks are very thick, halve them lengthwise first. Toss with the sugar, tapioca, orange juice, zest, and cloves. Arrange in an 8 x 10-inch gratin dish and let stand while you preheat the oven to 400°F. Cover with foil and bake until the fruit is tender when pierced with a knife, 35 to 45 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, if you're using strawberries, rinse them quickly, then slice thickly. Plunge mulberries briefly into water and remove any stems. When the rhubarb is done, remove it from the oven, scatter the berries over the top, and let stand with a piece of foil placed loosely over the top. The heat of the rhubarb will open the flavor of the berries, cooking them slightly. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with cream and crème fraîche whipped together until billowy, and the candied ginger.
