- Heat gently until the sugar melts, then increase the heat & boil for 4-5 minutes until the sugar caramelises slightly (it will turn golden).
- Add the rhubarb, reduce the heat and cook gently for 4-5 minutes until the rhubarb softens slightly.
- Meanwhile, put the topping ingredients in a food processor and whiz to fine crumbs.
- Put the fruit in a 1.5 litre dish and sprinkle on the topping. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden.
