- 800g of rhubarb
- 2 blood oranges , zested and juiced
- 1 star anise

- 75g of gluten-free plain flour
- 75g of brown sugar

Method
1
Preheat an oven to 180°C/gas mark 4

Trim the rhubarb, then chop into rough 2cm pieces and place in a pan

Zest the oranges into the bowl of a food processor, then add their juice to the pan with the rhubarb. Turn the heat on and cook the rhubarb for no longer than 5 minutes. It should just be starting to breakdown but still retaining a little shape. Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish
