Whats Cooking? Blog Hop! Plum Crumble

Hi all :)
I love to bake and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes, so i have decided to attempt my first ever "Blog hop"

The basic idea is to create a weekly "hop" and collect some new recipes to try :) It can be any recipe you like, it doesn't have to be baking
I'm a day early here, but it will be held every Monday (Midnight on Sunday till midnight on Monday) 
Just add your link below :)


This week, i am sharing one of my very favourite recipes, Plum Crumble.

Now this is a very casual Chuck-It-All-In recipe, if you don't have half the ingredients don't worry! Just throw in what ever you have!

For the Filling:

Plums (However many you have at the time of baking)
A sprinkle of sugar
A smidge of nutmeg (not essential don't worry if you don't have it)

For The Crumble:

250g Plain flour
100g sugar
150g butter
couple of digestive biscuits (if you have them) roughly crushed
100g porridge oats


How To:

Pre heat the oven to 200c/180c fan/ gas mark 6
Obviously you'll need to chop your plums and remove the stones
If you have an apple corer use it. They are marvelous for getting the stones out, especially if the plums have just come out of the fridge and are a bit hard.
Add any other ingredients you fancy! Leftover apples? Throw them in! Sultanas? Go for it! 
Pop them in a pan,add a sprinkle of sugar and nutmeg, cover with water and let them simmer for 10minutes, just to soften.
Meanwhile, make your crumble mix.
Pop the flour and butter into a bowl and rub together, add the sugar,stir it in and do the same with the oats and biscuits, they add a lovely texture.

When your plums (and other ingredients) are nice and soft plop them in a baking dish and spread out to cover the bottom

Sprinkle the crumble on top 
Pop it in the oven and let bake for 30- 40mins until golden brown on top
Add custard/cream/ ice cream and enjoy!
Yum!

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration  Yup.  You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table   and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

Garden stuff

Hi guys :) Thank your all your lovely comments about the Bearded Wonder, he is doing wonderfully and has even voluntarily made a new appointment at the doctors (will wonders ever cease?) With the lovely weather we have finally made it out into the garden, and got to work.  There is still so much to do to get it to where we want it but, progress is progress no matter how small :) The Bearded Wonder has dug out the path, and we are going to border it in an attempt at keeping the weeds and grass at bay, and put either gravel or pebbles in the gaps. I have cobbled together a frame, and am going to put down cardboard, newspaper and mulch to block down the weeds, and with any luck by next year it should be diggable, and shall be used for herbs and above ground growing plants such as salads and brassicas etc  We also got a lovely new bed from a friend, so our old Divan bed has had it's fabric sides ripped out and shall be pressed into service as raised bed...
