Crumble

[Shadow Man]

I have some frozen blueberries and a few cooking apples. neither would make a decent crumble, but combined I just have enough.

would they work together?

[B00]

why not? won't hurt to try, by the sounds of it they'll only go to waste otherwise.

Will this be served with custard? Can I have some?

grins winsomely

Oh, yes indeed they would. Stew the apples a bit first, then stick the blueberries in last minute - they'll cook enough in the oven. Nice bit of chopped hazelnut or walnut in with the crumble topping, and brown sugar, of course, and a few oats if you have them. Can I come to tea? Oh, and i like ice cream with my crumble, if that's ok with you.....

[Shadow Man]

thank you for that girlies.

I shall be having single cream with it, if that is ok.

[B00]

well no, it's not as it happens, crumble without custard? Are you mad???

[grasscarp]

There will be a host of AB-ers up to try your crumble if you give out your address!

[Shadow Man]

I like custard I really do, and I like custard with crumble. It's just i fancy single cream. Hot crumble with cold cream is very nice.

My address is

221b Baker Street
London
W1.

Ya know, that address looks vaguely familiar, still, not to worry, i'll don my deerstalker hat and potter to it.

[Shadow Man]

I shall make Mrs Hudson aware of your attendance.

Hi S - add some oats to the cumble mix as well if you like it crunchy - always helps. Use orange juice as a liquor for the crumble as well )with some orange liqueur for added adult content if you fancy). Oranges go so well with blueberries, and apple will add a little extra texture. Suggest a sprinkle of lemon juice to preserve the colour of the apple by the way and this will add a nice tartness to the crumbel too.

If you fancy a slight alternative - mix the berries with diced peeled apple, shredded coconut, sour cream (add a few drops of lemon juice to the single cream and stand at room tempo for 30 mins), a little sugar and diced grapes if you have some around. Place in individual dishes, top with muscovado sugar and let the sugar toppping 'melt' so it becomes a brulee style without cooking. Serve and enjoy....
