Recipe And Ingredients

This dessert is a sweet, early spring treat in the UK and the US and there are many versions of it to be found.  Our version is simple and easily modified for larger or smaller groups.  Today Caerphilly cheese is made in different parts of the UK but it originated, of course, in the area of the town of Caerphilly, in South Wales. Rhubarb was probably brought to the United Kingdom thousands of years ago and is today grown in Wales and popular in desserts, wines and other recipes. 

Serves 4

Filling

2 Tbs. orange juice
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 cup diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 1/2 cup hulled and sliced strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp chopped crystallized ginger
1 Tsp. freshly grated orange zest
   

Topping

1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup crumbled Caerphilly cheese
2 tbls butter
OPTIONAL 2 Tbs. crushed almonds

Preheat Oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch pie pan.  Mix fruit with orange juice, crystallized ginger, sugar, cornstarch, and orange zest and pour into pie plate.

Mix oats, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and almonds.  With your hands, mix in butter and Caerphilly cheese, pressing it into the dry ingredients until crumbly.  Slowly add orange juice as needed until you achieve slightly smooth crumbles that hang together.   Spread topping over fruit mix.

Place pie dish in oven over cookie sheet or foil to catch any bubble over.  Bake at 350F for 40 minutes or until top is well browned.  Remove and let cool to room temperature.  Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche.
