Ingredients

For the filling

  • 4 cups fresh cherries (700g)
  • 2 ½ cups fresh blackberries (325g)
  • ½ cup white sugar (100g)
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour in the UK)

For the topping

  • 1 ½ cup flour (190g)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter cubed (8 tablespoons / 4oz / 113g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (100g)
  • ½ cup oats (50g)
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºf / 175ºc.
  • Half the cherries and remove the pits and stems.
  • Add all of the filling ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Set to one side.
  • Add the flour and butter to a large bowl, and use your fingers to rub the them together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the oats, brown sugar and salt.
  • Place the fruit into a pie dish and cover completely with the topping.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for 40 to 45minutes until bubbling and golden brown.

Notes

  • To make this crumble gluten free, use a 1:1 gluten free flour and check that your oats are gluten free certified.
  • It's best to use unsalted butter in this recipe. If you use salted butter than omit the pinch of salt added to the topping.
  • The fresher your fruits the sweeter your crumble will be. If your cherries are slightly more tart mix a little extra sugar into them.
  • Ovens can vary in temperature, so check your crumble after 35 minutes of baking. The crumble is ready when the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  • Cherries are measured before they are stoned and halved.
  • Nutritional values are based on one of eight servings and are an estimate only.
