Rhubarb and Strawberry Grunt, a wonderful pudding using 2 summer fruits that nestle under a scone topping. Great with ice cream or custard!

Britain is awash with strawberries and rhubarb and there’s no better past time than picking your own strawberries at this time of year. Well in theory at least, if we could find a dry day when we weren’t either being buffeted by wind or being flooded!

I thought that these two fruits would be ideal bedfellows for this recipe as they complement each other not only in colour but also flavour.

I found “Yorkshire Rhubarb Grunt” in book called “All you want to know about… FRUIT” by Mark Blaycock and adapted the recipe.

The fruits stew under a scone topping with butter and sugar to form a delicious caramel sauce. The original recipe uses natural yogurt so feel free to use what you prefer.

Serve with custard, cream or ice cream and enjoy the taste of summer in a pud!

Pop the chopped rhubarb and whole strawberries into a shallow dish or 4 small ones. (Don’t they look pretty).

Next you sprinkle on the sugar and dot evenly with the butter.  Nearly there now.

Mix the rest of the ingredients together and distribute clumps evenly over the fruit and pop into the preheated oven.

Now you just need to decide on custard, cream or ice cream!

Confession time: I actually didn’t have enough yogurt so topped up with a little milk – wouldn’t ordinarily recommend doing this but it still tasted fab but probably affected the look a little – it should have had a smoother top to it!

So what are your favourite tastes of summer where you live? Plus what other fruits do you think could work with this recipe? Don’t be a stranger, stop by and leave a comment, I love reading and replying to them!

    This looks lovely. I’m going to have to try this, we have rhubarb ready in the garden and I never get around to using it.
