Freezing rhubarb crumble

Gintotmelinda

hi all


I've cooked some rhubarb and made a crumble mix. My question is do I cook the crumbles and freeze, or do I let the rhubarb cool and freeze with the uncooked mix on the top?


Ta muchly for any suggestions.

How long do you intend to keep it? The crumble mixture itself will keep in the fridge.

I often make a big batch of crumble topping and freeze in a bag, I don't know why but it is so much better used straight from frozen, so I would suggest freezing as separates.

I do believe you can do it both ways. Given the choice i'd freeze the topping raw on the fruit.

Doubt you can go wrong with either tbh. It'll taste good regardless.

I tend to do it raw. I've done it both ways but I find it's nicer cooked from raw - re-heating it from cooked tends to make the crumble top taste a bit scorched to me.

Thanks folks for the advice. We love rhubarb crumble and we have quite a bit of rhubarb on the new lottie at the moment. Happy days!

I also make a big bag of crumble mix and keep it raw in the freezer, it's so handy to have done ready for busy days so you can produce a quick and tasty pud, you just put it on your fruit and sling it in the oven.
