This blend of fresh summer strawberries, rhubarb and tangy grapefruit is a real winner. Add a caramelised brûlée topping and you’ve got a stylish dessert in super quick time.

300g rhubarb, sliced

- Zest the grapefruits or oranges, peel with a knife, slice the fruit horizontally remove the centre section and cut the slices into segments. Set to one side.
- Place the rhubarb, strawberries (if using), ½ tsp zest, vanilla extract and sugar into a pan and simmer on a low light for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Divide the rhubarb between 4 ramekins.
- Arrange the grapefruit segments to cover the rhubarb completely.
