Spiced Rhubarb |
Spiced rhubarb makes a great warming dessert.
It's a lovely way of enjoying fresh rhubarb and works well with the delicate, early-season forced rhubarb, as well as the stronger-flavoured later season variety.
Try serving with natural yoghurt or even custard.

Method |
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 C.
- Trim the leaves and the base of the rhubarb stalks. Chop the stalks into 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks.
- Mix together the orange juice, zest, sugar, cinnamon and ginger.
- Add the rhubarb to the orange mixture and stir well, so all the rhubarb stems are coated.
- Arrange the mix in an even layer in an oven-proof dish and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft.
- Check for sweetness and add a little more sugar, if needed.
Serve with natural yoghurt, custard or cream - or just as it is.

Notes & Variations |
For a little more natural sweetness, use honey instead of sugar and add 2 handfuls of raisins before roasting.
Spiced rhubarb makes a great base for rhubarb pie or even rhubarb crumble. |

Worked well. You might need to add a little water, depending how dry the rhubarb is. Used fresh ginger. Lovely. |

Rhubarb Fool
This rhubarb fool is really simple to make. Yet it makes an impressive (if somewhat calorie-rich!) dessert. It's a lovely fruity dessert to herald the start of spring. |

Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
This is a great way of introducing rhubarb to fussy eaters. By using it to form the topping of an "upside-down" sponge cake, it isn't overpowering and makes an interesting and tasty display! |

Rhubarb Meringue Pie
A delicious spring-time treat. A spiced rhubarb base with a meringue topping reminds you that summer is on its way! |

Rhubarb Tart
This sweet flan makes the most of springtime rhubarb. It's a deliciously different way of serving it. |

Rhubarb And Ginger Ice Cream
Great for a sunny afternoon treat, this recipe works well as an ice cream or a frozen yoghurt. Ginger and rhubarb are a delicious combination and using them in an ice cream is an unusual treat. |
