There is something so comforting and delicious about a nice crumble isn’t there? Whether it is because Winter is creeping in and you’ve got the heating on, or you’re just enjoying a nice roast dinner and fancy a dessert to share with your family, crumble is always a real crowd pleaser!

We are BIG fans of sweet recipes here, with some of the favourites in my home being homemade peanut brittle, honeycomb and a good old batch of lemon and poppyseed muffins.

This would work great with strawberry crunch topping too I bet.

Scroll down towards the end of this post for my rhubarb and pineapple crumble recipe card so you can get started with making this delicious crisp treat right away! This recipe has been adapted from this rhubarb crumble recipe.

Can you eat rhubarb and pineapple together?

You can. This recipe is the perfect marriage of the two!

Do rhubarb and pineapple go together?

Absolutely! The sweetness and bitterness works really well together and brings more of a balanced flavour to the dessert. If you’re not usual a fan of the tartness of rhubarb you’ll love how well the pineapple and sugar works in this recipe to bring lots more sweetness.

What fruit pairs well with rhubarb?

Strawberries, apples and pears are all winning combinations in our home. If you’ve got a glut of rhubarb growing in your garden then hopefully you’ll have some other lovely items you can experiment with growing too.

Our rhubarb plant has been growing SO much this year, much more than last year, so we’re harvesting on a really regular basis. I’m so grateful, as who doesn’t love free food? It is hard to believe that we had a tiny rhubarb crown under two years ago and now we’re making multiple desserts each month using our homegrown produce.

What to serve with rhubarb crumble?

This is perfect served with either a little splash of cream or a drizzle of lovely custard. Whether you want to make homemade, or use shop bought, just heat it up first and pour it all over!

How long will this keep?

This will be fine kept in the fridge for at least 2 days.

How to reheat rhubarb and pineapple crumble?

To reheat just portion up a bowl and pop it in the microwave, for 1 minute (800W) or place the whole tray back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until piping hot throughout. Enjoy with your usual accompaniments.
