Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

Step 2

In a large bowl, gently toss together the rhubarb, orange zest and juice, caster sugar, cornflour, vanilla and chopped stem ginger. Transfer to a baking dish about 25cm wide and spread evenly.

Step 3

To make the crumble topping, place the flour and cold butter in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the demerara sugar, oats, hazelnuts, ground ginger and mixed spice until evenly combined.

Step 5

Scatter the crumble evenly over the rhubarb without pressing down.

Step 6

Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is deep golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

Step 7

Leave to rest for 10–15 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream, cream or custard.
