This is a fantastic American recipe equivalent to our crumble. It's particularly good with strawberries and rhubarb, but you can use any[ fruit combo you like; about 680g/1 1/2 pounds of fruit should do it.] Ingredients:
2 apricots, stoned and sliced |
1 pear, cored and thickly sliced |
1 pint blackberries |
1 pint blueberries |
1 pint raspberries |
1 stick rhubarb |
5 tablespoons sugar |
a good glug balsamic vinegar |
4 ounces butter, chilled |
8 ounces (225 grams) self-rising flour |
2 1/2 ounces (70 grams) sugar |
a large pinch salt |
4 1/2 fluid ounces (130 milliliters) buttermilk |
a little sugar, for dusting |
vanilla ice cream, as an accompaniment |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C/gas 5). Put the fruit into a pan with the sugar and the balsamic vinegar. Put the pan over the heat, and cook gently, until the juices begin to run from the berries. Pour into an ovenproof dish.
2. Meanwhile make the topping. Rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add the sugar and salt, stir well, and then add the buttermilk to form a loose, scone-type mixture. Roll balls of the dough and place randomly over the hot fruit. Sprinkle with a little sugar, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
