Here's another
summer recipe coming right up, now that we have fully entered the
season here in England as well. I only rarely post desserts, but this
is one of them.
Gooseberry crumble
is something that I have neither tried before nor heard of before.
Nevertheless I decided to make one the other night. The idea started
mainly due to the fact that I had some fresh local gooseberries lying
around without a plan. As a child I loved picking gooseberries from
the bushes and then pulling a face, as I mainly took the raw ones.
Now I really like these quaint berries.
Here is my simple
gooseberry crumble recipe (it basically makes itself in the oven).
200 g gooseberries
50 g butter
2 dl oat flakes
1 dl sugar
Vanilla ice-cream
for serving
Cut the
gooseberries in halves.
Melt the butter
gently in a pan and add the oat flakes and sugar to it. Mix it all
together.
Put the
gooseberries onto the bottom of an oven dish and cover them up with
the oats.
Bake at 200 C for
about 30 minutes until the gooseberries have softened and the oat
topping is crispy.
Serve with nice
vanilla ice-cream and enjoy!

I miss gooseberries, don't see them in this part of Wales much. When I lived in Glasgow, I had an allotment plot and was growing my own, it was thriving. Lovely crumble. Welcome to Summer ay.
ReplyDeleteI don't see local gooseberries here often either and unfortunately don't have enough space to grow my own. In a few weeks however I can surely get some in my mum's and granddad's gardens. :)
DeleteGuess what, we picked up a red gooseberry bush today from a independent garden centre, not hopefully for gooseberries this year, but fingers crossed next year. Your lucky too to be able to get some from you mum's and grand-dads garden, thankful for families.
DeleteOh very exciting, I definitely want to hear about the progress of that gooseberry bush! :)
