Rhubarb has a tart taste that will make your lips pucker and your tastebuds dance. And with its vibrant pink hue, it will add a touch of colour to your dinner or dessert. Eat it raw for a satisfying crunch or cook it for a softer texture. Delicious.
And with a taste as superbly sour as this, the fruit is often used to counteract the sweetness of desserts. For example, mix up some of this pink delight and bake it with a topping of sweet sugar. Use caster sugar for a biscuity crumble, or brown sugar for a more fudge-like taste and texture.
Add some ice cream to your bowl of crumble for a hot and cold clash. Or lather some custard over the dessert for a heartwarming treat that will warm up both your body and soul. Combine all three for a mix of textures, tastes and temperatures that should make the dessert the highlight of the meal.
