Baked ginger parkin with rhubarb by James Martin inspired my his grandmother’s recipe

James Martin serves up delicious looking baked ginger parkin with rhubarb inspired by his grandmother’s recipe on today’s episode of James Martin: Home Comforts.

James says: “There are a few elements to this recipe but every one of them would benefit from being prepared in advance so it’s a great one for feeding a crowd.”

The ingredients for making the parkin are: 170g self-raising flour, pinch salt, 2 tbsp ground ginger, 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, 1 tsp ground mixed spice, 120g oat flakes, 250ml golden syrup, 75ml black treacle, 150g unsalted butter, 150g soft dark brown sugar, 2 medium free-range eggs, 25ml milk.

For the roasted rhubarb: 4 sticks fresh rhubarb, cut into 5cm/2in lengths, sugar, to taste and splash water.

For the syrup: 200ml golden syrup, 100ml apple juice and 1 tsp ground mixed spice.
