Crumble

floyd

Just wanted to share this fabulous but very simple recipe that I tried out this afternoon. It is a Nigel Slater recipe and i used half plums and half greengages bought at the visiting continental market.

serves 4-6
plums, greengages or a mixture - 1kg
caster sugar - 3 or 4 tbs, depending on how sweet your fruit is
For the almond crumble:
plain flour - 120g
butter - 85g, cut into cubes
unrefined golden caster sugar - 4 tbs
ground almonds - 4 tbs

Set the oven at 175°c/gas 4. Rinse and stone the plums, removing any stalks as you go. Toss the fruit in a deep baking dish with the sugar. Whizz the flour and butter in a food processor, then, when the mixture resembles fine, fresh breadcrumbs, add the sugar and almonds. Tip on top of the fruit and bake till the fruit is bubbling under the pale, golden crumble. About 40-45 minutes.

Its gorgeous and even OH, who is not a great pudding lover liked it. Its a great way of using up the heaps of stone fruit that are on offer at the moment and I am sure it would work well with peaches/nectarines as well
