VICTORIA PLUM CRUMBLE

Last autumn I  froze several bags of Victoria plums. Today I took out a bag to make a plum and cinnamon crumble.

Ingredients:

Plums - equivalent to one punnet
4 oz/100g S R Flour
3oz/ 75 g Butter
3 oz/75g Sugar
Oats/Crunchy oat cereal
Level teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

Lightly poach the frozen plums in a light syrup (granulated sugar and water).

To make the crumble topping:

Whizz together the flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor (or do it by hand rubbing the butter into the flour until is resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the other ingredients).

Use a slotted spoon to remove the plums from the syrup and place in an ovenproof dish.
Spread the crumble topping over the plums.
Sprinkle some oats, museli or crunchy oat cereal on the top to make a crunchy topping.
Bake in a moderate oven for about 40 minutes.


Serve with custard or cream.


Delicious!
