What's this... a competition?
1.2 kilos is my guess.
Use it all, you can always add more sugar or honey if it's not sweet enough.
Chop rhubarb into 1 inch bits, put in a pan with a small amount of water (only covering the bottom of the pan), lid on, boil, stir every few mins, don't let it dry out, when rhubarb has turned mostly mushy, add plums and syrup to taste. Then do the biz with the crumble bit.
What's sticky toffee cheese... or am I best not asking?TOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!0 -

All of it? :eek: Really? :eek: How much crumble am I making?
If I end up with too much, can I freeze some?
Ok, the instructions look suitably bloke-proof. :T I'll have a bash, probably tomorrow.
Sticky toffee cheese can be seen here.If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
I can't see why you couldn't freeze the left over crumble.
But a better idea might be to freeze the excess stewed fruit first? So next time you fancy crumble you just defrost it, bung some more crumble mix on top and put it in the oven. You could even try making cobbler if you were feeling brave.
Also, you could have the stewed fruit with plain yog for brekki, or over muesli to help it taste less like sawdust

That's actually what I meant. The fruit.
And I like muesli! I had some this [STRIKE]morning[/STRIKE] afternoon. If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -

Then you need to tell me which brand LOL. Value muesli is like something you'd find on the floor in a barn...
Yup, don't see any reason why you couldn't freeze the stewed fruit. I often do this with apples and brambles in the autumn, for crumbles through the winter.
I'm actually surprised you managed to freeze the rhubarb raw last time, i'd've thought it would've collapsed on you? We live and learn!

Which variety is yours? My inherited rhubarb plant died off some years ago and I haven't got round to replacing it.
It could be [STRIKE]fingers crossed[/STRIKE] a good year for gooseberries as my plants are growing like crazy too. :j£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4

Ok, that rhubarb must be thinner than it looks. :rolleyes:
I have 580g rhubarb, and an estimated 450g of plums. Will that be enough? If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -

Errr...not value muesli. Alpen. And not the reduced sugar version either.
I managed to freeze the rhubarb fine last time. It was, however, mush when it defrosted. I did seek advice on here first!

Timperly Early, I think. I'm sure that's what me dad said. I'm not sure how you managed to kill your rhubarb - I didn't think it was possible. If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0
