Quick Summer Fruit Crumble- a quick summer dessert using blueberries, raspberries and blueberries. Serve it up with ice cream or custard. Use frozen fruit if you can't get fresh.
One of the other great things about summer is all the delicious fruit that comes into season- strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, apricots, blackcurrants, nectarines. I love it all! We're not quite in the season for those fruits yet in the UK, although some early British strawberries are knocking around.
In my determination to bring summer on, I decided to make a Quick Summer Fruit Crumble for dessert, using the fruit that I could find. I mixed raspberries, blackberries and blueberries together in the bottom of a ceramic dish and poured the crumble mixture over the top. No pre-cooking and no peeling required makes it a super-quick crumble to make! As I didn't have fresh blueberries to hand, I used frozen.
Frozen fruit works really well in a crumble and is so handy. You can have a huge variety available in your freezer and just whip some out when you need it.
Top Tips
- Always rub your crumble topping by hand. Using a food mixer can make it a bit too stodgy when baked.
- If using frozen fruit for the raspberries or blackberries, defrost it in a sieve over a bowl first to reduce the amount of liquid.
- Don't stew the fruit. Summer fruits break down very quickly and it will be sloppy when baked in the oven as well.
- Sprinkle sugar on the fruit to taste. The raspberries can make it quite tart, but if you prefer it that way, you might want to use less sugar.
- If your crumble isn't golden at the end of the cooking time, you can switch your oven to grill mode for a few minutes before removing.
