Joseph Carter - "Classic Rhubarb Crumble"

Joseph's older sister, Jasmine. That is some awesome looking rhubarb!

 Joseph Carter tells us how to make a classic, British dessert, rhubarb crumble. I love crumbles (and, even Jamie Oliver himself will agree, cold pre-made custard!) but the best bit about this post for me was that the rhubarb was from their own garden. Just look at the size of it! Home grown stuff is so much better and gives you such a sense of satisfaction. I certainly recommend you guys trying it sometime. Have a read of this and don't forget to comment below!

 "The other day we made rhubarb crumble using some rhubarb grown in our garden. Here is a picture of my sister with our freshly picked rhubarb. Everyone in our house loves rhubarb especially rhubarb crumble. Below is how we made it."

This you've got to try...

1. First we heated the oven to gas mark 5. 
2. Then we washed and chopped the rhubarb and placed 350g of sweetened rhubarb in to a ovenproof dish. 
3. Next we rubbed 100g of butter into 200g of self raising flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. 
4. Then we added 100g of sugar and 50g of oats and mixed it thoroughly, spreading it evenly over the rhubarb. 
5. We baked it for about 30 minutes until rhubarb was cooked.

 Thanks so much Joseph, it sounded absolutely delicious! Keep the recipes coming...

Jasmine Carter - J&J "Diner Style Baked Potatoes."

Jasmine's superb creation. I wish I'd been there to sample...

Jasmine Carter from Southampton decided to have a try at the recipe "Diner Style Baked Potatoes" from my blog Jacob and Jamie. Read her account below and be sure to comment!


 "I’ve wanted to try one of the recipes from this blog for a while, but am not a great cook so didn’t want to try anything too hard! (Well not yet anyway) I just loved the idea of the Diner Style Baked Potatoes as they were relatively simple, yet different, and was something my family would love. So when we got some potatoes I decided to try it. 

 "Since we’ve just moved house we didn’t have a lot of the ingredients, so we bought some of them, but I forgot others, like lemon juice and paprika. That was ok for the first time doing it because my brothers are not great fans of either, but I can see they would make the meal much tastier for next time round. For once I wasn’t too distracted while in the kitchen and could follow the recipe properly and everything went smoothly.  I also discovered that we had basil in our kitchen to go in the filling which I didn’t know about. I then had to go and look up all the things it was useful for later on after being told it was good for digestion. ;) Um yeah burning the basil plant wards off mosquitos apparently! Random.

 "Apart from the ingredients I didn’t have, the recipe was followed and it turned out well. Unfortunately as I was taking the potatoes out of the oven after filling and topping them I got a phone call to remind me that I was late for my baby-sitting job so I had to rush out of the house! Lol, I’d tasted enough of the filling throughout so I didn’t feel hungry anyway!  I got told that it was very nice and everyone enjoyed it.  So that was very good and they had left some for me to re-heat. I’m pretty pleased with it and will definitely be trying some of the other recipes here as well. Because I love Jacob’s blog, it’s so well done, and everyone ought to end their entries with that note." ;)

 A huge 'thank you' Jasmine for your brilliant story and fine recreation. You even taught me something as I had no idea about burning basil leaves! If you have something you would like to try from this blog, your own recipe or story then do not hesitate to write to me at onedeliciousman@gmail.com right now.
