I made it like this:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Ingredients<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diet lemonade<\/li>\n<li>4\/5 stalks of Rhubarb<\/li>\n<li>1 cooking apple cored and peeled<\/li>\n<li>Zest of one lemon<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp coriander seeds<\/li>\n<li>5 nice big pieces of stem ginger in syrup<\/li>\n<li>Splenda (about 2 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp white caster sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp vanilla sugar<\/li>\n<li>ready brek (about 2 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>plain flour (about 2 tbsp)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>Flora extra light margarine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I stewed half the rhubarb in a very small amount of diet coke then spooned this into a pyrex cooking dish and put the rest of the rhubarb in the diet-coke\/rhubarb soup. Doing it like this makes a really strong flavour. I crushed the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar and put them in this mix also.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in the dish with the rhubarb in it, I added the lemon zest, splenda, 1\/2 the sugar and 1\/2 the splenda. Then I chopped my pieces of stem ginger and my cooking apple and put them also into the dish. Then I poured the rest of the rhubarb in the pan into the dish.<\/p>\n<p>In a bowl I then mixed the plain flour, ready brek and a tiny amount of extra light margarine &#8211; just enough to make the flour go like breadcrumbs. I mixed in the rest of the sugar and the splenda and shook a tiny bit of vanilla sugar over the top.<\/p>\n<p>It was very, very nice and extremely low in fat and sugar as you can see from the recipe!<\/p>\n<p>I also made some great progress on Tatami.<\/p>\n<p>Today I have updated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.missability.com\">the missability website<\/a>.
