    Apple & Blackberry Crumble

    There is simply no stopping summer from slipping away. Thankfully, autumn brings along some goodies to comfort us.

    Apple & Blackberry Crumble

    This year our Bramble tree gave us five whopping apples. It’s an improvement on last year’s zero. Hopefully as the tiny tree grows it will bestow more presents on us in the coming years.

    Luckily, our gracious neighbours on both sides have their own established trees and we enjoyed an abundance of apples nonetheless.

    Apple & Blackberry Crumble

    Another sure sign that autumn is here is the presence of blackberries. They are simply everywhere, begging to be picked. After a few years of practise I think I finally got the knack of picking them when they’re just right.

    Obviously, when you take hold of one and it turns into a soggy mess you know it’s overripe. At the other end of the scale is the tug-of-war you can get into with the plant.

    Rest assured the berries will be unripe, sharp tasting and not very sweet. You know you are onto a winner if the berry is plump and slightly bouncy. If it comes off with a gentle pluck it is deliciously yours.

    You can’t find an easier pudding than this humble crumble. Why not serve it with some pink custard?

      Thanks for your positive feedback, Nina. 🙂 To be honest, cream never occurred to me. I didn’t have any custard at hand and thought ice cream would make a right old mess of the glasses so just skipped any additions altogether. I did add it to the serving suggestions though!

      To answer the question on the last photo, yes, I do want some. How can we make that happen? Well I guess it would be easiest to make it myself. I can’t wait!
