Hugh creates delicious lollies from a grow-your-own garden favourite in River Cottage

Makes about 15 small lollies

Ingredients

  • 10 sticks of rhubarb
  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • Up to 150g runny honey
  • Golden caster sugar to taste

Method: How to make rhubarb ice lollies

1. Trim the rhubarb and chop it into 5cm lengths. Place in a large saucepan with the orange juice and about 100g honey. Place over a medium heat and bring slowly to a simmer, stirring so that the honey 'melts'. Cook, stirring often, until the rhubarb is completely tender and pulpy - about 15 minutes.

2. Puree the mixture in a blender then taste for sweetness. The mixture should seem slightly too sweet at this stage as it will taste less sweet when frozen. Add more honey, or sugar, if necessary. Pour into the moulds, about 100ml capacity, and freeze until solid - at least 12 hours.

  2. Where did hugh buy his ice lolly moulds? They looked fab and would love to make them without them sticking with the plastic moulds I have!
