Crumbles

Anyone tried Carnation milk on their crumbles, bloody delicious

Evaporated or condensed?

Condensed! Eeek... no thank you. Hate that stuff

I put quince pears in apple crumbles. They give you a lovely fragrant, lemony note.

Also lovely poached in spiced sugar syrup, or turned into jelly and membrillo.

Can't eat 'em raw, but they're lush cooked. They go a lovely pink colour, too.

Same here for adding to apple crumbles. Mrs R had also poached and bottled loads of them last weekend. Really good with Greek yoghurt, cream or custard

Bull's milk, as my grandad used to call it.

First crumble of 2026 Apple and plum

 

[Reynard]

Our first one of the year was apple & mango. Really recommend the combo

Today's apple and plum crumble has been made by my own fair hands

First rhubarb harvest of 2026 and the crumble it went into

 

[annedonnelly]

Oooh, that's interesting. Your rhubarb was sprouting much earlier than mine but I've been harvesting for a couple of weeks now. Mine must be a fast grower.

I spotted a recipe for rhubarb toad in the hole recently so I'm probably going to try that soon.

Just made my first rhubarb and pear crumble needless to say it was scrumptious

Thinned out some apples from 2 of the 3 apple trees at my mum's yesterday and just added them to our rhubarb and gey presto in 20 minutes we will have an apple and rhubarb crumble

Today's home made crumble consists of apples freshly picked from mum's garden, rhubarb from our garden and blackberries from the hedgerows on our morning walk .
