Spiced sherried plum crumble
While you're tucking into Phil Vickery's pot roast pork and sausages, save some room for a helping of comforting autumn crumble filled with juicy plums.
Cooking time: 35 minutesPreparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients50g butter1 tsp ground cinnamon1 tsp nutmeg2 tsp mixed spice50g brown sugar 7 ripe plums, halved100mls any sherry225g plain flour 175g unsalted butter115g golden granulated unrefined sugar
**Method**
Preheat the oven to 220° C, gas 7
Warm the butter in a saucepan and add the spices and sugar
Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the plums and sherry, cook for a further 2-3 minutes
As the plums start to break down the juices and the sugar homogenise together and the sauce takes on a nice silky smooth toffee consistency, once the plums are soft pour straight into an ovenproof dish and leave to cool
Next make the crumble, place the flour, and butter into a Magimix and blend together
Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs
Spoon into a bowl and stir in the sugar, then spoon the crumble over the cooled plums
Pop the crumble into the oven and cook for about 20 minutes until nice and evenly browned
The secret about crumble is to eat it warm and not too hot as it will burn your mouth, and of course with plenty of clotted cream
If you really want too push the boat out, serve vanilla ice cream as well as the clotted cream!
