  1. 1

    Put the rhubarb pieces in a saucepan with the caster sugar and the port, if using.

  2. 2

    Cover and simmer gently on the lowest heat for 15 minutes, adding extra sugar for a sweeter result. When the rhubarb is soft but still holds its shape, tip it into a medium baking dish.

  3. 3

    Set the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

  4. 4

    For the topping, rub the flour and chilled butter together with your fingertips to a soft, crumbly mixture.

  5. 5

    Mix in the muscovado sugar and walnuts, if using, with your hands.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the topping across the rhubarb, then bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.

  7. 7

    Serve piping hot with plenty of thick vanilla custard.
