Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan oven 160°C, Gas Mark 4.

2. Put the rhubarb and halved strawberries into a baking dish and sprinkle the sugar on top. Mix the vanilla extract with the water and pour it into the dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the rhubarb is lovely and tender.

3. Meanwhile, melt the butter and syrup together in a large saucepan over a low heat, taking care that the mixture doesn’t get too hot. Remove from the heat and stir in the Jordans Clusters, breaking up any large clusters by giving them a good whack with a wooden spoon.

4. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the baked fruit. Pop it back in the oven for a further 5-8 minutes, until golden brown. Serve it up with ice cream, crème fraiche or a cracking custard.

Cook’s tips:

If you fancy a bit of a change, you could always use plums instead of rhubarb.

Or why not try a different variety of Jordans Clusters? An apple crumble topped with Maple and Pecan tastes sensational – just cook 450g (1lb) baking apples as above, before adding the crumble topping.
