RHUBARB AND STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE
We’ve now got a fair amount of rhubarb and so we decided to do something with it and make a crumble. In the end, we made two: the first with rhubarb and strawberries in an electric oven and the second with rhubarb and apples in the bread oven.
The crumble can be prepared in advance and then cooked before serving but it is a good idea to only add the crumble topping to the fruit just before baking to stop it going soggy.

- To make the crumble for the topping, mix together the flour, oats, sugar and butter together with your fingers to make crumbs.
- Transfer the fruit to a baking tin with a few tablespoons of the syrup and top with the crumble mixture.

- Substitute cooking apples for the strawberries and cook at the same time as the rhubarb, adding more sugar if necessary.
