    Ok, I've had a taste, and it's almost perfect. It's still lovely and sharp, but there is a bit too much ginger. :o Oh well, it'll have to do.... :D

    I am a bit worried about the amount of liquid in the fruit....
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    The muesli idea was just a musing really....I bought oats. :D

    Do you possess a slotted spoon? You could just lift the fruit into the dish that way and leave the excess liquid in the pan?

    It does look a bit loose, but it also does need some moisture

    I've added the plums, but left them whole because, well, if I get a plum I want to know I've got a plum, if you know what I mean? :D

    He put in his thumb,
    And pulled out a plum,
    And said, "What a good boy am I".

    Can't believe four pages of this thread and no-one has thought to mention checking whether the plums still have stones in.

    As you say it's too late now, just be careful when eating that you don't break a tooth or several :D .
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    No stones in the plums. One of us thought to check. ;)

    I have two questions:

    1. Does the fruit need to be hot when I build the crumble? (I have made the topping)
    2. What temperature should the oven be at?

    Well he did say he wants to know that he's got a plum if he gets a plum lol

    Looking good MBE.

    Nothing you can do about too much ginger now... just take the bits out. Sure it'll be fine when you've crumbled it and got some custard or ice-cream on the go.

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    I would say no, the filling doesn't have to be hot. And i'd bake it at 180 (fan)

    Strain off some of the juice if it's too watery... mix it with fresh orange or lob it in a smoothie.
