Rhubarb and Apple

Hi again
Today's recipe is a rhubarb and apple mix that can be used as a crumble or in my case today we are making little turnovers

This recipe is again quite a versatile recipe you can leave it quite chunky and do a crumble or pie with it or you can do what I've done today and cook it out quite a bit to put into some puff pastry little turnovers which we will freeze and eat as dessert or snack when feel like it..This mix is enough to make a small crumble or about 20-30 little turnovers should serve 4 comfortably..just double recipe if necessary

6 -8 stalks rhubarb about 200-250g
2 apples diced(granny smith best) but I used what I had on hand
1/2 - 1 tblsp light brown sugar (my husband is diabetic and prefers sharp rhubarb you can add more to your taste)
1 inch piece grated fresh ginger
1 - 11/2 tblsp apple cider

If you want a chunky mix to use as a crumble
add your rhubarb to a pot and cook on very low for 2-3 minutes
add your apple and cook for further 2 minutes
put into an oven proof dish that you will make your crumble in
add your brown sugar and give good mix this will make a little syrup
add your apple cider and grated ginger and mix again
Make your crumble mix that you like

If you want to use your mix for pastry or prefer it cooked out more do as above but omit the step of putting it into an oven proof dish and just keep cooking on stove until it is a consistency that you like

A simple crumble mixture if you are looking for one is
1 cup flour
1/4 cup butter ( I like mine buttery)
1/2 Tbsp light brown sugar
11/2 tsp ground ginger

mix together and put on top of your chunky mix and cook for 40 minutes at gas mark 5
If don't want to put crumble just want to cook as is still cook 40 mins at gas mark 5
180 degrees
If you are making a pie with either the chunky or not so chunky mix would be gas mark 5 for 40 minutes as well
if making little puff pastry turnovers 20 -25 minutes gas mark 5

Well that's about it hope you enjoy this recipe.. Here is a pic of the cooked out mix and will show pic of ready pastry encased ones as soon as they are cooked enjoy
