Rhubarb grows in many Canadian gardens and is plentiful at farm markets and grocery stores in spring and early summer. Its tangy flavour and pinky-red colour is wonderful to incorporate into simple desserts like this one. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of honey-sweetened whipped cream.

Ingredients

4 cups (1 L) chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb (about 1 lb/500g)
2 cups (500 mL) diced peeled cooking apples
1/4 cup (60 mL) liquid honey
Grated zest of 1 orange or lemon

1 egg
1 cup (250 mL) milk
1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, melted

1 1/2 cups (375 mL) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped toasted walnuts or hazelnuts
1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder
1/2 cup (2 mL) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
