Ingredients:

For the Filling:


500g rhubarb, sliced into 2cm lengths
100g sugar, or to taste
2 tbsp port wine

For the Topping:


50g cold butter
110g Gluten-free Dry Flour Mix
1/4 tsp baking powder
55g sugar (try demerara/muscovado/maple sugar for additional flavour)
chopped pecans or other nuts to taste (optional)

Method:

For the Filling: Prepare the rhubarb by slicing into 2cm lengths (no need to peel) them into a small pan and add the sugar and port. Cook slowly together until the rhubarb is just soft. Approximately 20 to 30 minutes. When cooked pour the rhubarb into the base of a suitable deep-sided baking/oven dish (about 10cm x 15cm in size).

For the Topping: To make the crumble measure and add together the gluten-free flour mix, baking powder and the butter. Using your hands rub the flour and butter mixture together until the two become like fine bread crumbs, then add the sugar and mix thoroughly together. With a a spoon sprinkle the crumble topping evenly onto the surface of the rhubarb filling. Now use the back of the spoon to smooth-out the surface of the topping. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190°C for about 30 minutes or until the topping turns a golden brown in colour. This dessert can be served either warm or cold with custard, cream or ice cream.

Note that you can substitute just about any fruit (or combination of fruit) in place of the rhubarb. If not using strongly-flavoured red fruit substitute white wine for the port in the recipe.
