THE OXFORD BLUE

The traditional Crumble is a classic British dessert.

Since rhubarb is a perfect summer treat we decided to include this delicious summer twist. Perfect with a large scoop of crystallised stem ginger ice cream for a sophisticated flavour.

The traditional Crumble is a classic Old English favourite, so we have included a summer twist and created a recipe for Rhubarb Crumble.
