Plum and Ginger Crumble

Ingredients

Crumble Topping
100g Plain Flour
50g Butter
87g Golden Caster Sugar
25g Oats (optional)

Fruit Filling
300g Plums
1 Ball of Stem Ginger

Method

Using fingertips rub flour, butter, sugar and oats (if using) until they resemble bread crumbs...well combined but still crumbly.

Next, chop the plums into small pieces. I cut each plum into eight but you could leave them larger. Then chop the stem ginger as small as you can and mix with the plums.

Assemble fruit mix into oven dish, I chose small ramekins previously containing pots&co puds to make individual portions. Then top the fruit with the crumble mixture. Because I used small ramekins I did have some crumble left over...this will be used to top my Banana Muffins later.

I thought it worth a mention that if you are using one dish you should be able to use all the crumble topping.

Bake at Gas 4 for 30 minutes or until you see the plum juices bubbling and golden brown.

With the amounts above I filled three ramekins or one small dish which should serve two generously at a push three.

Serve as you see fit....cream, custard...etc

Enjoy
