Crumble Raspberry Plum Recipes

RASPBERRY-PLUM CRUMB TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan; set aside. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Rub warm nuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove skins. Let cool. Place nuts in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until medium fine, about 30 pulses.
• Transfer the nuts to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the light-brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix until just combined. Add butter, and mix on low speed until the crumb begins to stick together, 2 to 3 minutes. Press 3 cups of crumb into the bottom of the prepared pan and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan to form the crust. Set remaining crumb mixture aside.
• Transfer crust to the oven; bake until it appears to be set, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Slice plums in half, and remove pits. Slice into eighths. Scatter 3/4 cup raspberries and sliced plums onto cooled crust; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk in the egg, the egg yolk, heavy cream, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg (optional). Pour custard over fruit; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Transfer tart to the oven; bake until custard has set and is slightly golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Garnish with remaining raspberries. Let rest at least 25 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PLUM CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the plums into the base of a shallow gratin dish about 28cm long. Mix together the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and flour and sprinkle over the plums. Trickle over 2 tbsp water.
• Put all the crumble ingredients into a food processor, and using the pulse button, whizz until the mixture just starts to clump together. Take care not to over process at this stage. Alternatively, rub the butter into the flour using your hands and then stir in the other ingredients.
• Scatter the crumble over the plums and bake in the oven for 30-40 mins until golden brown. Leave for about 15 mins before serving with custard or cream.

PLUM CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9 or 10-inch shallow round baking dish. Place plums, cut side up, in the dish; they should fit snugly in a single layer. Sprinkle with sugar and brandy.
• In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, almonds, almond paste and brown sugar until it is like coarse meal. Then add chilled butter cubes and pulse until mixture looks more like peas.
• Sprinkle almond mixture over plums and bake in oven until bubbling and browned, about 20 to 30 minutes. Let sit for 10 to 20 minutes before serving, to cool and set. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream with a little créme fraéche folded in.

PLUM, RASPBERRY JAM & CARDAMOM CRUMBLE SQUARES

Steps:

• Butter and line a 30 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment, leaving an overhang so you can lift out the traybake later, then butter the parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• To make the pastry, put all the ingredients, except the vanilla, into a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add a couple of teaspoons of very cold water and the vanilla, then blitz again. The mixture should come together into a ball. If it doesn't, add a little more cold water and blitz again. Press into the tin using your fingers and the back of a large spoon, then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins until pale golden. Leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Stir the cardamom seeds and the lemon juice into the jam until smooth. Spread the jam over the pastry base, leaving a 2cm border all the way round. Cut each plum half into 1cm slices. Lay these in rows, overlapping, on top of the jam.
• To make the crumble, put the flour, ground almonds, butter, sugar and lemon zest into a food processor (you don't need to wash it out first), and blitz until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Tip this over the plums and scatter the flaked almonds on top. Bake for about 35-40 mins until the top is golden and the plums are tender. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Carefully lift the traybake out of the tin onto your work surface using the baking parchment. Leave for a few hours so the fruit can settle. Cut into squares or rectangles, then sift some icing sugar over the top, if you like.
