Rhubarb and ginger tart is a classic with the tanginess of spring rhubarb and that warming kick of ginger spice. This is a super easy recipe that uses a puff pastry base, the crunch of pistachios and a wee dash of whisky too!
What’s to love about this easy recipe
- Using ready-made puff pastry as a base makes this rhubarb and ginger tart a breeze to make

I love making full use of our gorgeous rhubarb and make everything from my homemade rhubarb and ginger gin liqueur to jams, cakes and more. Check out the bottom of this post for more great ideas for using rhubarb.
Ingredients
Rhubarb of course! I’ve used the really red forced rhubarb from Yorkshire. The stems are thin so cook quickly and the taste is just amazing. Tangy but with such a sweetness too.
You really should read this great article on Yorkshire forced rhubarb, how they even harvest the crop by candlelight.
I’ve used my homemade whisky marmalade to add sweetness and as a glaze for my rhubarb. Use any marmalade that you like here. The orange in the marmalade works wonderfully with the rhubarb.
As I’ve said the base for my rhubarb and ginger tart is ready-made puff pastry. Buying a really good quality all-butter puff pastry really cuts down the effort in the kitchen.
Method
Cut your rhubarb all the same length, about 10cm pieces and mix these in a bowl with the grated ginger, whisky marmalade and vanilla extract.
Roll out the puff pastry and lay out the rhubarb in a line down the centre of the pastry and roll over the edges of the pastry all around to form a sort of frame.
Sprinkle with a little sugar and some orange zest then paint the edges with an egg wash and bake for approximately 20 minutes till its golden and the pastry is crispy.
To finish off your rhubarb and ginger tart simply sprinkle with some grated orange zest and serve with some crushed pistachios (for that extra crunch!) and a dollop of homemade labneh (yogurt cheese) or a nice vanilla ice cream.
How many does this serve?
