Ingredients

For The Filling:
  • 180 g frozen rhubarb
  • 150 g blueberries
  • 100 g golden caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
For The Crumble:
  • 120 grams rolled oats
  • 200 grams flour
  • 200 grams brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 170 grams cubed room temperature butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Method

Make The Blueberry Rhubarb Filling:
  1. Add your rhubarb, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon to a pan and set on a medium-low heat with the lid on. Stew for approximately 15 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft and the fruit has stewed together and is jammy.
    180 g frozen rhubarb, 150 g blueberries, 100 g golden caster sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 lemon
Make The Crumble Bars:
  1. While the jam is cooking, preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Make the crumble.
  2. Add your flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and mix.
    120 grams rolled oats, 200 grams flour, 200 grams brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
  3. Add the cubed, softend butter and combine with cleamfingers to creature a crumble texture.
    170 grams cubed
  4. Set aside about ⅓ of the crumble in a different bowl.
  5. Press the remaining two-thirds of the mixture into your baking dish, ensuring it's evenly pressed down in all corners. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Once you've removed the base from the oven, pour over your rhubarb and blueberry filling, then grate over the lemon zest. Then, sprinkle over the remaining crumble mix.
  7. Bake for a further 25 - 30 minutes
  8. Remove the bars from the oven and allow to cool - I chill my bars for several hours in the fridge before cutting to allow them to really firm up before cutting into bars

Notes

This recipe can be enjoyed as a crumble straight from the dish once removed from the oven, but if you want to cut them into bars I highly recommend chilling the dish in the fridge for a few hours before cutting into slices to allow the jam and crumble to firm up.
The bars will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
