Crumbles are a great way to use up left over fruit.
You could use different combinations of fruit but in this recipe I have used Pears and Cherries in individual 5″ ramekins.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FRUIT FILLING:
♦ One ripe Pear
♦ 8-10 ounces of Cherries
♦ Splash of Kirsch
♦ 2 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter
INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOPPING:
♦ 2 ounces of Unsalted Butter + extra for lining the ramekins
♦ 2 ounces of Demerara Sugar
♦ 3 ounces of plain Flour
MAKE THE CRUMBLE TOPPING:
Butter should be soft to firm.
Cut butter into pieces and add to a bowl with the Demerara sugar and flour.
Push the ingredients together using your fingers or a fork.
(do not use any processor)
Butter two 3 ½ inch ramekins and add sliced pears and pack the cherries in tight filling the gaps with more pears.
Add a tablespoon of Kirsch (optional)
Sprinkle over the Crumble Mixture
Place the ramekins on a hot baking tray (to catch any spills) in a pre-heated 350 F oven for 45 minutes.
Allow them to cool down for 30 minutes before serving.
