Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Prepare the Roasted rhubarb adding the halved strawberries after 15 mins of cooking. Cook, uncovered, for a further 5 mins until the rhubarb is tender and the strawberries slightly softened. Tip into a shallow dish, about 25 x 18 x 5cm, with enough of the syrupy juices to keep the fruit juicy. (Any leftover can be served with the crumble.)
  2. While the fruits are roasting, prepare the crumble. Mix the flour, sugar and ground almonds, then add the butter and rub together to make coarse crumbs. Stir in the orange zest.
  3. Spoon the crumble loosely over the fruit, then scatter with the pine nuts. Bake straight away for 25 mins until golden and bubbly. Cool a little before serving with custard and any remaining syrup.

    I never realised what a difference strawberries made to rhubarb! The pudding was a great success as was the addition of ground almonds and pine nuts to the crumble mixture. Will certainly be adding it to my "make again" pudding list!

    Made with raspberries instead of rhubarb and strawberries. Nice and moist. The addition of ground almonds to the crumble adds to the favour. Greatly enjoyed.

    Ended up using plums for this, since there was no rhubarb, and adding apple and orange juice when there was only a little juice left. So easy to make, gorgeous aftertaste, and everyone wants to know when it's being made again!

    Used raspberries instead of strawberries. It worked really well and the roasting produced lots of delicious juices. I found that the crumble topping was a bit on the sparse side and may make a little more next time. Pine nuts made an interesting change.

    Wasn't sure that I liked the idea of rhubarb and strawberries at first, but I know that the Americans use this combination a lot so thought I'd give it a go. Had no idea the stawberries would make such a difference! Used fresh rhubard straight from the garden and omitted the pine nuts as I didn't have any and after reading the other reviews I made more crumble mixture. Scrummy!

    This was my first attempt at making a crumble and it came out beautifully. I have to save it for an occasion at the weekend but couldn't help myself from trying a little from around the edges and it was hard to stop! Delicious. I did have to make more crumble as the amount stated wasn't enough to cover the amount of fruit I used, but I was using rather a large dish.

    Delicious! The addition of almonds to the crumble mixture lightens it. I thought that the quantity was perfect for 4 people as stated but there are no left overs so depends on whether you expect a recipe for 4 to feed 6! Yummy!

    Flippin lovely! The strawberries and almonds really do make all the difference. I did a taste test when it came out of the oven and struggled to stop after 2 teaspoons full! Pine nuts were fit too. My mum gave it 20 out of 10!

    Absolutely delicious but needed double of the crumble mix for a dish of a similar size to the one they are suggesting.

    Lovely recipe! I didn't use all of the sugar suggested to roast the rhubarb with and was very glad that I didn't - probably only poured two thirds in and the rhubarb had tang still but wasn't too sharp. The strawberries help to sweeten it, which maybe isn't accounted for in the roasting recipe. I didn't have the nuts so replaced some of the flour with sugar free muesli and it gave it an extra bit of texture.
