Fruit Crumble

Have you noticed lately that when you reach the end of a cereal packet, the crumbs left at the bottom have increased in volume?  I have noticed this particularly with packets of Special K - in fact so much is left that instead of throwing it away I've now taken to saving it and using it in a fruit crumble.







This was the latest amount of cereal remaining in the packet - which weighed 3 ounces!

Yesterday, I discovered three pears in the drawer in the fridge which were past their best for eating, but were perfect, once peeled, for cooking, so together with a small packet of blueberries and some frozen raspberries a couple of tablespoons of golden caster sugar they went into a dish.



I whizzed up the Special K crumbs and added some rolled oats - scattered this over the fruit, another tablespoon of the sugar and baked it in the oven at 160c for approximately thirty minutes.




Oops - forgot to photograph before dishing up ......... again!


It's a particularly quick and easy dessert - and tastes wonderful.  I've made this with all kinds of different fruits that happen to be sitting around and particularly love it made with a mixture of soft fruits that I buy frozen from the local farm shop.

    1. I know it sounds a bit scrooge like to be using cereal crumbs but I was getting fed up throwing so much away every couple of weeks - hence the "quick quick crumble".
