FOR THE RHUBARB AND ORANGE C

FOR THE GINGER TIMABLES

Preheat the oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4, lightly butter 6 x 175ml (6fl oz) pudding basins.

To make the rhubarb and orange compote; place the rhubarb in a shallow roasting tin along with the remaining ingredients except for the orange segments. Bake without covering for 50-60 minutes.

In the meantime, make the ginger timbales by sifting together the flour, spices, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, mix to incorporate all ingredients.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, butter, sugar, black treacle and ginger. Using an electric whisk combine to make a smooth mixture with the addition of the water.

Divide the mixture between the buttered pudding basins. Place on a baking tray and cook directly below the fruit compote for 30 minutes or until springy to the touch.

To serve, run a palate knife around the edge of the pudding basin and invert on a suitable serving plate. Add the orange segments to the fruit compote and spoon over the ginger timbales. Serve immediately.
