I realised this week that the English plum season was coming to an end. My blokes parents made their first visit to our house yesterday so I decided to make them a sweet treat. When I told him my plan of making a plum crumble my boyfriend started calling it a plumble so hence the title.
I found this recipe on the guardian website, the easiest to navigate of the newspaper websites who also happen to have some of my fave food writers on their staff.
This is the first of the Dan Lepard columns called sweet treats that is published once a week.
Of course I made some variations on Dan's plum and apple crumble the main one being that I couldn't get my grubby hands on cobnuts so instead I used ground almonds in the crumble mix.
The only other change I made was to add cooking apple to the mix as I still have some sitting about the house.
This smells amazing in the oven and only took about 20 minuets to make. As it's cooking the plum juice seeps out and goes deep red and sticky.
I only just managed to get a picture of the remains this as it was very moreish.
Hopefully I'll have a couple of book reviews for you again soon.
Sounds yummy and I love the name - I think it's the only fruit that it works with!
