Ingredients

  • 250 g sweet short crust pastry handmade or bought
  • 300 g rhubarb fresh
  • 3 tbsp red fruit jam any will do
  • 100 g plain flour - plus a little for rolling pastry
  • 60 g butter
  • 50 g porridge oats
  • 60 g demerara sugar
  • 40 g flaked almonds
  • 1 tsp icing sugar - for dusting if you want to be posh

Instructions

  • Use a 10 x 10 or 8 x 10 tin, lined and greased (greaseproof paper also helps you lift it out of the tin)
  • Pre-heat oven to 180 C / gas mark 4.
  • Cut the rhubarb into 3cm pieces, put in a pan and add jam, stir. Then place over a low heat with the lid on for 8-10 minutes until soft, leave to cool.
  • Make your short crust pastry or use the bought sweet short crust, line tin with pastry making sure it's not too thick, it doesn't need to be too neat.
  • In a separate bowl add flour, then rub in butter until it looks like breadcrumbs, Add sugar, porridge oats and almonds and stir to combine.
  • Pour your cooled rhubarb mix into the pastry case and then sprinkle on the streusel topping.
  • Bake in the oven for 40 minutes until golden (you don't want a soggy bottom...).
  • Leave to cool slightly then using greaseproof paper, lift carefully out of the tijn, enjoy either warm (dust with icing sugar), with custard or ice cream or cold with a nice cup of tea.
