This is seriously the BEST way to cook rhubarb. I discovered this when making a raw cake that included cooking rhubarb for the longest time at a low heat. I’ve played around with the timings and this is about as good as it gets. Honestly, if you like rhubarb this is the way to go! If you have anyone in your family who doesn’t – try them with this. You can make it in big batches so you’re not wasting too much oven time.
The quantities below makes enough for 2-3 portions – although if I’m honest I could easily eat all of this in one sitting. Use it for overnight oats, as a pancake topping, mixed through yoghurt or just eat it on it’s own.
Heavenly Rhubarb
Turn the oven onto almost it’s lowest setting – so 80-100c /180-200f or Gas 1/4 -1/2
- 200g raw rhubarb, chopped into small slices (about 1cm slices)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (any brown sugar will work – I like soft brown sugar best.)
Put the chopped rhubarb into a baking dish or tray and add the syrup and sugar and coast it well. Put into the oven for 1.5 – 2 hours. It should still hold it’s shape but be tender – the picture shown is of the cooked rhubarb so you can see how its held it’s shape.
Eat immediately or put in a container and keep in the fridge, save the juices too. I prefer eating this at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, but hot, cold or warm, it is truly delish.
