*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Drunken Crumble*

*Rhubarb crumble is popular own its own but with a "wee nip" added, it has extra zest! You can use apples instead of rhubarb if you wish.*

## Ingredients (makes enough for 4)

**Filling:**
 1½ pounds raw rhubarb
 3 fluid ounces of whisky (equals 6 tablespoons or less than half of a US cup)
 Grated lemon and orange rind to taste
 4 ounces demerara sugar (one cup of light brown sugar)
 Teaspoon of mixed spices (Allspice)

**Topping:**
 6 ounces plain flower (two cups)
 3 ounces butter (half stick)
 3 ounces caster sugar (scant half cup granulated sugar)
 Grated rind of one lemon
 One teaspoon ground coriander
 One teaspoon mixed spice (Allspice)

## Method

Clean and chop the rhubarb into pieces and put in a 2-pint pie dish. Add the other ingredients for the filling and stir well.
 Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and rub in the butter - the mixture will eventually look like small breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, grated lemon rind, coriander and spices and mix well. Sprinkle the topping over the rhubarb.
 Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for thirty minutes by which time it should be golden brown. Serve hot with custard - or ice cream.
