Eating In

This is Nigel Slater’s recipe. If you haven’t got any sloe gin, experiment with other flavoured spirits.

750g rhubarb
100g sugar
8 tbsp sloe gin
2tbsp water

Preheat the oven to 180º/Gas 4. Chop the rhubarb into pieces and place in a baking dish. Stir together the rest of the ingredients and pour over the fruit. Bake for 40 minutes to an hour, basting from time to time. When it is tender, allow to cool and eat it warm, or chilled.
