This sounds so good today I thought I'd share it. Christie from Vegetarian_Group offered this one. yum!
All of the recent posts about apricots inspired me to buy a punnet at
the supermarket. They then sat in the fridge for a week whilst I
failed to come to a decision about what to make with them and
yesterday I realised that a choice had to be made. I settled on an old
favourite - the crumble. The result was absolutely scrumptious.
Christie
Apricot and Nectarine Crumble
10-12 apricots
2-3 nectarines
up to 1/4 cup/50mls orange juice, depending on the juiciness of the
fruit(I didn't have any and used mango and passionfruit smoothie
instead!)
5 oz/150g plain flour
4 oz/125g caster (superfine) sugar
4 oz/125g butter
1/2 oz/15g flaked almonds
Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200C/400F.
Quarter apricots and slice nectarines and put them in a deep oven-
proof dish. Pour over orange juice.
Put flour and sugar in a bowl and use your fingertips to rub in the
butter until the topping is the consistency of breadcrumbs.
Alternatively whizz all of these topping ingredients in a food
processor using a plastic blade.
Sprinkle the topping over the fruit and bake on the middle shelf for
20 mins, sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake for a further 3-5 mins
until golden brown.
Serve with custard, or cream, or ice cream, or cashew cream.
This recipe is also great with rhubarb, 1 inch slices with sugar and
ground ginger to taste, or with gooseberries, sugared to taste, or
apple with cloves, or apple and blackcurrant, or apple and blackberry,
or plums or...... Peach, raspberry and redcurrant would be good.
