help I have rhubarb and don't want to make a crumble

[2shoes]

how do I cook a sponge on the top?

i'd stew it with ginger its lovely
nice at breakfast or with yogurt

Fool

pie? it would work

Actually, it would be nice with sponge on top.

100g butter, 100g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 100g SR flour, 1tsp baking powder. Beat it all together and spread over the top. Don't forget to sweeten the rhubarb, a bit of ginger would be nice too.

yes fool is lovely too again with ginger

ooh cadelaide laarrvely

don't forget pure rhubarb and custard (dardly dur, dardly dur, dardly dur de dur)

my mum made a lovely rhubarb souflee at the weekend - Jamie Oliver recipe apparantly.

Doesn't help you put sponge on the top though.

If you have a book that tells you how tio do it with apple should be the same though.

Sorry DeeRigeur, should have credited you with the ginger.

2shoes, you don't have to be too precious with the sponge cos it's a pudding, not a cake. I'd give it about 25 mins at 180 degrees.

God I'm starving.

thanks I should have said I hate rhubarb but dd LOVES it and we get a supply from her driver.tis great as she has trouble going.
I just wanted to try something different.

I made this last week:

rhubarb spice cake

(also suffering from an excess of rhubarb from DH's allotment).

It was very tasty although it didn't look anything like the picture on the link. I added a bit less golden syrup (200g instead of 250g).

Oh MrsW, that does look good.

I do love a bit of spice.

WTF??? I sound like something out of a Carry On film....

cadelaide no worries
its killer combo dontcha think? and i'm big on ginger atm

thanks have saved that to faves

I thought you had her hostage and were planning an evil end a la Samuel Whiskers...

like the ginger idea.

D'you have a food processor 2shoes?

Just whizz up the sponge ingredients in that, easy as pie pudding.

jamie oliver has loads of recipes for ruhbarb in his new jamie at home book but i cant find mine (sorry) but he does have a website if you google jamie at home, i think it is on channel fours site?

I just stew it with a bit of sugar and serve with custard. The boys love it.

yes its a winner gives it zing
fresh dont need much grater it up

ooooooooooooo yum mrs wednesday thankyou i have been looking for a recipe too hadn't thought of cake.
thankyou 2shoes for this thread will make cake tomo and eat some with custard for desert!
keep you updated soon

I often do just sugared stewed rhubarb with ginger biscuits and Nigella's orange ice cream - yummy!

Stew it in apple juice and add jelly to it to make it up to a pint. It sets like mousse. Yum with evap.

Third time in two weeks I've picked rhubarb from the garden and each time I've ended up throwing it on the compost.

I love stewed rhubarb. The important thing is not to add any water which makes it grey and watery (yuk). My mum does a lovely rhubarb pie with shortcrust pasty, or it is good with sponge on top (best quite undercooked). Also nice cooked with a custardy sort of mix. Ginger is an excellent addition.
