🧈 Jamie Oliver Rhubarb Ginger Crumble Ingredients

Pinch of salt
1¾ sticks (200 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

🥮 How To Make Jamie Oliver Rhubarb Ginger Crumble

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the rhubarb mixture: In a large bowl, toss the rhubarb and ginger together. Sprinkle 2 cups (400 g) of sugar over the rhubarb mixture, then transfer it to a 2- or 3-quart baking dish. Set aside.
Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and remaining ½ cup (100 g) of sugar. Add the butter to the flour mixture, and using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips, chop the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal and the butter pieces are smaller than a pea.
Assemble the crumble: Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish.
Bake: Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the rhubarb mixture is tender and bubbly.
Cool and serve: Allow the pan to cool on a wire rack before serving the crumble warm or at room temperature. Serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream if you like.

💭 Recipe Tips

Use Fresh Rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb tastes best. If you use frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain it first.
Keep Butter Cold: Cold butter makes the topping crumbly and flaky.
Spread Sugar Evenly: Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the rhubarb to make it sweet all over.
Bake Until Golden: Bake until the top is golden and the rhubarb is soft and bubbly. Cover with foil if it browns too fast.
Cool Before Serving: Let the crumble cool on a rack before serving to set the juices and flavors.
