Tips

Start by choosing the right rhubarbs. Opt for fresh, firm stalks that are free from blemishes. While the colour can vary from green to deep red, the taste should always be tart with a hint of sweetness.

Tips

Ensure that the rhubarbs are cut into even-sized pieces, so they bake uniformly. As all ovens are different, keep an eye on the rhubarb towards the end to ensure it does not overcook.

Questions about baked rhubarb topping

Looking for a tasty way to top your breakfast? Then baked rhubarb is what you have been waiting for. Before you start the prep work, read the answers to some of the most asked questions about the topping below.

How long will baked rhubarb last?
Baked rhubarb can last for about 4-7 days when properly stored in the fridge. Keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing other odours. Before storing, make sure it has cooled completely. It is best to eat it within this time frame to get the best flavour and texture.
Can you freeze baked rhubarb?
Yes, you can freeze baked rhubarb. Allow it to cool completely after baking, then transfer it into freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. It is best to consume it within a year for optimal flavour and texture. Always defrost it in the refrigerator before using, and remember, it is not advisable to refreeze once thawed.
How to serve baked rhubarb topping?
Baked rhubarb is a versatile topping and pairs perfectly with skyr or yoghurt and fresh berries like strawberries, adding a delightful tang. Sprinkle some hemp seeds on top for a crunchy texture, and you are good to go. It is also delicious when spooned over pancakes or waffles, adding a sweet-tart note to these classic breakfast dishes. Another option is stirring it into your morning porridge or oatmeal for a fruity twist. For a weekend treat, use the baked rhubarb as a filling for crepes or a topping for French toast.

Slightly caramelised, soft, and utterly delicious

As the rhubarb bakes, it releases juices that mingle with the sugar sprinkled over it to create a sort of rhubarb-infused syrup. This syrup gets absorbed back into the rhubarb pieces, making them beautifully tender. The sugar on the outside of the rhubarb pieces starts to caramelise. This caramelisation imparts a subtle depth of flavour, a delightful complexity that dances on the fine line between sweet and tart. The result is tender but not mushy, with a rich, concentrated aroma that is utterly irresistible.
