How to make Pear and Plum Crumble

A crumble is a lovely dessert during Autumn and Winter. I make okay crumbles, my wonderful girlfriend makes amazing crumbles. This blog post is how my wonderful girlfriend made a ‘Pear and Plum’ Crumble, rather than an ‘Apple Crumble’. The reason why it was pear and plum was to use up some fruit. I now strongly believe a fruit crumble is a grand way to use up fruit.

Please note: This recipe should not be attempted by children, unless supervised by an adult.

 

What you need:

• 4 Pears (we used a tin of pears)
• 6 Plums
• 2 heaped tablespoons of Butter
• 4 heaped tablespoons of Flour
• 2 tablespoons of Sugar
• Mixing bowl
• Chopping board
• Knife
• Wooden spoon
• Pyrex Dish

 

Step 1 – Prepare the fruit.

Wash your fruit, then peel and remove the core of the pears. Also remove the stones from the plums. Chop the fruit and place in the pyrex dish. Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over the fruit and stir in well. Now my girlfriend used pears and plums, but you could use apples or another fruit. Many fruits are suitable for this recipe.

Step 2 – Create the Crumble.

Put the flour and the butter in a mixing bowl and rub together until it turns into bread crumbs. Stir in a tablespoon of sugar and mix well.

Step 3 – Bring together and then cook.

Spread out the crumble mix over the fruit. Then place in the middle shelf of a pre-heated oven on gas mark 4 for thirty minutes or until golden brown on top.

Suitable on its own or with cream, custard or ice-cream. Enjoy! I know I did.
