500g packet frozen rhubarb pieces
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan forced. Grease a 6-cup ovenproof dish.
Cook pear, caster sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until tender. Add rhubarb and cook another 3-4 minutes, until soft but still holds its shape.
Remove fruit from syrup with a slotted spoon and transfer to prepared dish. Taste and check for sweetness, sprinkling with a little extra sugar if needed.
Meanwhile, combine oats, brown sugar, butter and almonds in a bowl. Sprinkle over fruit and bake for 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Serve with ice-cream.
