Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rinse the rhubarb and shake off the excess water. Trim the ends and cut the rhubarb into little finger-sized pieces. Put the rhubarb in a shallow dish or baking sheet with sides, tip the sugar over, toss together, then shuffle the rhubarb so it’s in a single layer.

  • step 2

    Cover with foil and roast for 15 mins. Remove the foil. The sugar should have dissolved, so give everything a little shake and roast for another 5 mins or until tender and the juices are syrupy. Test with a sharp knife; the rhubarb should feel tender, not mushy, and still have kept its shape.

Followed the recipe. Rhubarb was hard and crunchy, sugar not dissolved, no juices. Not sure how you shake a tray full of sloppy sugary rhubarb gently? If you do it gently it doesn’t get shaken. If you do it violently it ends up on the floor. Recipe utterly failed. Did it for a further 10…

Really easy recipe to follow. Served with custard which may have made it too sweet. Would use less sugar next time and try it with ice cream. Will also try to freeze it as mentioned by a previous reviewer. Good.

Made this recipe with some late rhubarb, very easy and tasty results. I added some crystallised ginger and served with vanilla ice-cream. Perfect and simple to rustle up in 30 mins.

Delicious and so easy! I make it in bulk, let it cool and freeze in deep ice cube trays - thaw individually in the microwave and have with fat free Greek-style yoghurt. Gorgeous and low calorie

Complete waste of time, rhubarb and sugar. Followed the recipe to the letter - 15 minutes covered by foil didn't do anything, let alone melt the caster sugar. Find another recipe.

Am guessing either your oven wasn't hot enough or your rhubarb wasn't cut slender enough. A very easy recipe with tasty results.
