Gippsland is veiled in smoke here in my home town of Churchill , the smoke from the fires is thick .
There is so much devastion in East Gippsland and there are fires still raging .
Today I harvested my rhubarb .
I removed all the leaves , washed and trimmed the stems .( 25 stems )
Peeled and sliced 3 apples , added 1 cup of dried fruit and mixed peel , 2 tbs of dried and ground lavender flowers , 1/2 cup of lemon juice , 1/2cup of raw sugar and1/4 cup of butter , 1 dsp of ground cloves and 1 dsp of minced ginger.
Place in a large pan over a low heat stirring occasionally .
When softened set aside .
Now it is time time to prepare your crumble .....
