Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. For the topping, tip all the ingredients together and rub with your fingers until you have a rough pastry, then set aside in the fridge.

  • step 2

    Peel the pears and chop into large chunks, then chop the rhubarb into finger-length batons. Tip into a large ovenproof dish and toss with the sugar and orange zest and juice. Crumble over the topping and bake for 40 mins until golden and bubbling at the sides. Leave to cool for 5 mins before spooning into bowls and serving with custard or ice cream.

Whilst the citrus is a refreshing surprise, I will half it next time...and add more crumble!

question

Do you freeze before or after cooking? When cooking from frozen do you defrost first or cook from frozen and is it same temp?

Hi, thanks for your question. You can freeze before or after cooking but we would recommend freezing before cooking. Defrost over night in the fridge and then bake from chilled. Many thanks, BBC Good Food team.

Excellent recipe and after cooking for 40 mins it’s bubbling away. We left it for 5 mins and then had it with cold custard - outstanding and filling dessert

I grated in about a 2cm piece of ginger to the fruit mix, in addition to the orange. It was delish. (I reduced the sugar by half as others have suggested but it was a little tart for the children.Next time I will reduce out by a quarter.)

Delightful combo. We all love crumbles in our household so it's lovely to find another variation.
