    Strawberry and nectarine crumble pots

    Serves: 4
    Cooking Time: 30 mins

    Ingredients

    • 150g strawberries, chopped
    • 2 large nectarines, chopped
    • 110g (½ cup) dark brown sugar
    • Crumble topping

    • 100g unsalted butter, softened
    • 150g cake flour
    • 90g ( cup) soft brown sugar
    • fresh cream, to serve

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    2

    Place layers of the chopped fruit into small, ovenproof glass jars and sprinkle with dark brown sugar as you layer.

    3

    For the crumble, combine the butter, flour and soft brown sugar in a bowl and rub together to form fine breadcrumbs.

    4

    Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the fruit and place the remaining crumble mix in an ovenproof dish.

    5

    Bake the crumbles and crumble mixture in the oven until the fruit has softened and the crumble is golden, about 20 minutes.

    6

    Remove from the oven and cool. Serve with plenty of pouring cream.

    Notes

    Leila's tip: Use a fruit of your choice - a variety of berries are super yummy - and add 2,5ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla extract to 250ml (1 cup) lightly whipped cream together with 15ml (1 tbsp) castor sugar for Chantilly cream.
