Mustn't crumble


But I will...  For those who are unfamiliar with the dish,
a crumble is a baked dessert with your choice of fruit inside.
We've had a bumper crop of plums, greengages and apples
in our own garden, as has just about everyone else in the UK
this year. Crumble is deeply delicious, especially if made with
butter and served hot with cream or ice-cream. We don't
do margarine in this house, and I'm pleased to see that
hydrogenated fats are now being held up as more of a health
hazard than the simple saturated variety. It's processing that
spoils food, not the original content, which is one reason the
above (which has a total of 4 ingredients) tastes better than
anything you can buy from a supermarket.
Finish off with your favourite liqueur/single malt and a cigar 
(not you, Monica) for a memorable evening, and leave off
trying to set the world to rights...
