Stewed Fruits and Crumble

*

This time of year is great for using soft fruit.
I tend to microwave any fruits I have leftover - or just 'slightly' over-ripening, with a little water (if necessary) and either sugar, honey or maple syrup.
eg:
Blackberries - rinse well if from your garden
Apples - peeled and roughly chopped
Plums - halved and de-stoned
Cherries- de-pip
peaches/nectarines etc. - you can skin these if required and roughly chop
Once cooked, add your sugar to taste.

Delicious served hot or cold with cream or custard :o)

You could also make the stewed fruit into a crumble:

Crumble Mix:
100g flour
50g butter - cold
50g demerara sugar
Method: 
Add bits of butter to the flour and with fingertips crumble into 'bread crumbs'
Add the sugar
Sprinkle on top of cooked fruit - add a little ground ginger or cinnamon if wanted.

Porridge Oats can be added to the crumble mix, as extra or part of the flour.
