Geocache Description:

Dessert in the Desert is a series of 6 caches along Highway 371 celebrating English Desserts. All are located very close to parking pull-outs along the highway.

---Dessert #4 Rhubarb Crumble---
A crumble is a British dessert which contains stewed fruit topped with a crumbly mixture of butter, flour, and sugar. The crumble is baked in an oven until the topping is crisp. It is often served with custard, cream or ice cream as a hearty, warm dessert after a meal. In America a similar dish to crumble is a crisp or a fruit cobbler.

Although Rhubarb is the traditional fruit - other popular fruits used in crumbles include apple, blackberry, peach, gooseberry, and plum. The topping may also include rolled oats, ground almonds or other nuts, and sometimes sour milk is added to give the crumble a more extravagant taste. Brown sugar is often sprinkled over the crumble topping, which caramelizes slightly when the pudding is baked.

Crumbles originated in Britain during World War II. Due to strict rationing the ingredients required to make the bases of pies contained too much of the necessary flour, fat and sugar to make the pastry. So a simple mixture of flour, margarine and sugar was used to make the top of the crumble. The dish was also popular as it's easy to make.

Cache is a Camo'd pill bottle with log only. BYOP.
