Ingredients

To complete this recipe, you will need to get your hands on the following key ingredients:

4 large ripe pears
100g golden granulated sugar
250g blackberries
200g plain flour
100g unsalted butter
85g shelled pistachio
100g demerara sugar
custard (optional)

Method

Now you have all your ingredients, it’s time to start baking your Pear & Berry Crumble with our step-by-step guide.

Start by pre-heating your oven to 190 degrees celsius while cooking your pears on the hob in medium sized pan with granulated sugar. Cook for 10 minutes or until the fruit begins to soften and the juices release. Next, add the blackberries and bring back to the boil. Remove from the heat and spoon the mixture into a large baking dish.

Utilise a large bowl to combine flour, butter, and a little salt by rubbing together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Then add the pistachios and demerara sugar before stirring.

Gently sprinkle the crumble evenly over the cooked fruit before baking until golden. For a small dish, this may only take 20-25 minutes, however anything larger can take up to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving with custard or your choice of topping.
