So I tried this the other night and I was disappointed. Let me preface this by saying that I was distracted, so my opinion may not be fair. My only concern was that there are no thickeners; only cooking the mixture for 25 minutes, then letting it sit doesn't really thicken the juices. I will try one more time, and maybe add some tapioca or cornstarch. We'll have to see.
Good flavor but about a cup of liquid after baked. Maybe try a shallower dish? I poured off liquid and it was fine but not great. Maybe a T of corn starch to the fruit? Worth trying again even if was a disappointing outcome first round! The ginger was so nice.
I don’t know if I misinterpreted the weight of rhubarb but without the leaves included in the weight I ended up with more than could fit in the 4c dish. I added tapioca to thicken (maybe 1T) and the consistency was good. I also doubled the crumble because I looooove crumble topping. Tangy and sweet balance were great, and the addition of ginger was delightful.
This was delicious, perfect balance of sweet and sour. I did modify a few things to adapt to my taste: used about 75% the amount of sugar for both fruit and crumble, as tend to find a lot of recipes too sweet for my taste. And I cooked in a large pan (11x 13) which meant I needed to double the crumble recipe. A perfect ratio of fruit and crumble imho
love this recipe! I used grated butter and added 2 tablespoons of almond flour, ground coriander, cinnamon, clove and a splash of red Tabasco with minced fresh mint leaves. I let it cook for about 40 minutes in a high walled casserole dish. Heavenly!
