Hello!
I've found some rhubarb lurking in the back of my freezer. It has to be at least a year old.
Do you reckon it's still ok to shove into a crumble with a manky apple? Shall I defrost it first?

Yes it will be fine. I'd be more worried about the manky apple to be honest
Nothing goes off in the freezer its too cold.
When we have rhubarb I cook it and freeze in small'ish portions which OH mixes into value or basic yogurts to spice them up a little bit.
I've never made a crumble but I would think you would defrost it first.0 -
I use frozen rhubarb all the time in crumbles. You can defrost it if you wish, but I just throw it in the dish sprinkle with sugar, and about a tablespoon of corn flour sieved over the top as it can be a wee bit watery if it's been frozen then pour your crumble mix on the top. I have just finished last years rhubarb doing it this way......lovely!Every days a School day!0

I agree - go for it! It'll be fine to eat. I'd defrost it before putting in the crumble personally.

Agree with all the above, I am still using home grown rhubarb from last year. I don't defrost just place in dish sprinkle with sugar and add topping.Slimming World at target0
