Pear & Blackberry Crumbles Recipe

Ingredients

700g (or 4 large) ripe English pears , peeled and cubed

100g golden granulated sugar

250g blackberries

200g plain flour

100g unsalted butter , cold, cut into small pieces

85g shelled pistachios , roughly chopped

100g demerara sugar

ice cream , to serve (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.

Place the pears in a medium-size pan, add the granulated sugar and cook on a medium heat until the fruit starts to soften and releases its juices, about 10 mins.

Add the blackberries and bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat.

Spoon the fruity mixture into 4 individual ovenproof ramekins, or 1 large baking dish.

Place the flour, butter and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and rub together with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Add the pistachios and demerara sugar, then stir to combine.
