Oaty Rhubarb and Ginger Crumble

Everyone loves a good crumble and it has long been a feature on the menu at Waterside. It is a dessert that you can make throughout the year with seasonal fruit fresh from the garden. I like to make it with a good proportion of oats in the topping, to give it a crunch, and a pinch of ginger or cinnamon depending on the fruit. Try using substituting some of the oats for ground almonds or using gluten free flour. Give your guests a choice of ice cream, custard or clotted cream served with it and you may well have them asking for all three!
