step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.

In a saucepan, bring the cream (250 ml), milk (250 ml) and vanilla pod (1) to the boil.

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks (8) with the sugar (100 g) until pale, then pour over the hot milk and cream, beating as you go. Strain into a jug.
step 4
Pour the custard into the pastry case (1) and bake for around 30 minutes or until the custard has set.

While the tart is cooking, place the rhubarb (500 g) in a saucepan with the sugar (100 g), the gin (3 tbsp), most of the M&S Remarksable Value orange (1) and 2 tbsp water. Simmer for 10 minutes until the rhubarb is cooked but still holds its shape.
