Tropical Fruit Crumble
Substances
2 mangoes peeled and cubed
1 small pineapple, peeled, cored and lower into 2cm cubes
1 tsp floor cinnamon
2 nectarines peeled and cubed
2 tbsp orange or pineapple juice
1 agency banana, thickly sliced
good splash of rum or Malaga Wine
zest of 1 lime
1 tsp floor ginger
110 g chilled butter, lower into items
175 g plain flour
4 tbsp mild muscovado sugar
2 handfuls of muesli (many recipes use oats, however we discover the muesli provides a beautiful crunch)
Technique
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/Gasoline 6
Put the nectarines, pineapple, cinnamon and fruit juice in a saucepan or saute pan and cook dinner over a low warmth for 7-8 minutes till the fruit begins to melt – add somewhat water if wanted.
Take away from the warmth and stir within the rum or Malaga wine, banana, mango and lime zest then spoon the fruit right into a pie dish. Sprinkle over the ginger and put aside.
Rub the butter into the flour till it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then stir within the sugar, muesli and a very good pinch of floor ginger. Spoon over the fruit and bake for 30-35 minutes till the topping is golden.
Serve with Custard, Cream or Vanilla Ice Cream.
