Berry And Pineapple Crumble Recipes

BEST-EVER FRUIT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• You can't go wrong with an old-fashioned crumble. Everyone loves it, and it's lovely and easy!
• Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
• Sift the flour into a bowl and add the sugar, salt and ginger.
• Cut the cold butter into chunks and rub it into the flour mix with your hands until you get a mixture that looks a bit like fine breadcrumbs. This is the crumble topping.
• To make the filling, boil the water and sugar together, then carefully drop in the pear chunks and simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
• Add the chopped ginger and the lime zest and juice to the pan and stir. Spoon the mixture into one large ovenproof dish or four small ones.
• Sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the fruit, piling it high in the middle of the dish and leaving space at the edge for the caramel to bubble up.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the pears are cooked and bubbling and the crumble is golden on top. Serve with custard or a dollop of crème fraîche with lime zest grated over, if you like.
• Tip: This crumble will work well with apples instead, if you prefer.

EASY MIX-AND-MATCH FRUIT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray or butter.
• In a large bowl, toss together the fruit with the flour, sugar and lemon juice. (See Kelly's Notes for adjusting quantities.)
• Pour the fruit filling into the prepared baking dish and set it aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Add the cubed butter, and using your fingers, work it into the flour mixture until moist clumps form.
• Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly atop the fruit then place the baking dish atop a baking sheet.
• Bake the crumble for 35 to 40 minutes until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let it cool 5 minutes then serve topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
• Any variety or combination of fruit will work great in this recipe, such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, plums, etc.
• Adjust the amount of flour and lemon juice in the fruit filling depending on the juiciness and sweetness of the fruit. Fruits with more liquids (such as peaches) may require more flour, while tarter fruits (such as blackberries) may require less (or no) lemon juice.

THE ULTIMATE BERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Grate in the frozen butter, stopping occasionally to toss the butter into the flour mixture until coated. Drizzle in vanilla extract; add egg yolks. Stir with a fork until egg is mostly absorbed. Add vinegar; mix briefly. Use your hands to finish mixing, squeezing until clumps but mixture remains mostly dry. Add 1 teaspoon vinegar if needed.
• Combine blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries in another bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Mix until sugar and cornstarch are mostly dissolved.
• Place about 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Press mixture down using a flat cup until well compacted. Spread the berries over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top, squeezing some of it into clumps.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is beautifully browned and berry syrup bubbles on the surface, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

PINEAPPLE CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Weight the diced pineapple and reserve 1 lb for the crumble. Process enough of the remaining pineapple, including the chopped core, in a food processor or juicer to obtain 1/4 cup juice, saving remaining juice for another use.
• Heat butter in a large saucepan and add the reserved 1 lb pineapple, 3 T of the sugar and vanilla. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Place the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, remaining 1 T sugar, lemon juice, rum and cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and clears. Add juice mixture to cooked pineapple and stir well to mix.
• To make crumble topping: Combine flour, sugar, vanilla and butter in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs; do not over mix.
• Preheat oven to 350. Transfer cooked pineapple mixture into a large dish. Sprinkle with the crumb topping and bake until golden brown, about 30 - 40 minutes.
• Serve warm.
