I made this exactly as per the recipe. It is really lovely. The orange juice and rind really add to the flavour. Even DD who isn't fond of rhubarb liked this. Very easy. We had it with yoghurt.

Quite a lot of different varieties of fruit in that recipe Cookie1 - glad you tried it, may prompt others to do it now.

Thanks cookie1 - I love rhubarb and hadn't seen the recipe ?

Agree, this is a lovely recipe. Pre-TM never really cooked rhubarb that much, but am led to believe from my mum when growing up that it is high in iron and fibre that when it is in season, love to make a dessert crumble or to have with yoghut at breakfast. Thankfully DD loves it, that I really don't mind if she makes it out of season, as on a per kg basis it is cheaper and better for you than buying lollies.

My mother used to put mashed rhubarb in to remove some of the "tannic" taste from the oxalic acid.  Kids prefer it that way.

This just proves we should read our recipes books more often Thermomixer - you never know what you may find in them.

Another friend called over this morning with even more rhubarb. I didn't have the heart to tell him we already had eaten about half a tonne. So I plan to make ILB's rhubarb cake this afternoon and will return some to him in a cake.

Toooooo True - found 2 recipes in TMX books after i had "converted" them and posted them..
As I say - it would be good to have a database so we could say - Oh yes there's a recipe for that here... or we'd batter make it up.

Lucky you. I have to buy mine from my local farmers market.  We had stewed apple and rhubarb with custard for dessert tonight.  So yummy!!!

Lucky you with all that rhubarb but even luckier friend.

hello

this is really cheeky but would it be possible for someone to post this recipe? in the uk we don't get the everyday cookbook with our TMX and I love the sound of the combination!

[judydawn]

Have done Brunette.

Thank you so much!

I made this last night but without the strawberries and I used the whole orange -- too lazy to zest  .  I made it into a crumble by sprinkling Rara's crumble topping over the top -- was so delicious all by itself without added calories of ice cream, cream, custard, etc! 

Healthy tip: I halved the sugar content in both recipes, used wholemeal flour and reduced the butter content in the crumble by 30gm.

Have to agree this is really tasty - often features at our breakfast table.  Made Rara's pancakes yesterday and used this as topping with yoghurt but added mample syriup to the cooking instead of sugar - forgot pic though!
