rhubarb
A bounty of fresh fruit and veg is coming into season, giving us a glorious taste of summer. Rhubarb isn’t around for long, so here’s how to make the most of it

Stew on it
One of the easiest things to do with rhubarb is stew it in sugar or honey and water (otherwise known as a compote). Spice it up by adding ginger or using orange juice instead of water. You’ve then got an ingredient that can be used in so many ways, from mixing with yogurt and topping with granola for breakfast to layered Eton mess in a jar or spread over cake.

Eye on the pie
Rhubarb pie is a must and will make customers’ mouths water at first sight. Combine with berries for a perfect partnership and add a teaspoon of orange peel, vanilla or nutmeg for extra zing. Tossing the rhubarb in sugar and leaving for about 30 minutes helps it soften, release its juices and stops it going mushy.
