Scottish Rhubarb & Berry Crumble

A sumptuous fruit crumble that is so easy to make. A great way to use leftover fruit. You can easily make this vegan by using vegan margarine instead of butter.

Fruit Crumble

I love fruit crumbles and like to treat my family to one on a Sunday night before the working week begins.

You can use so many different fruits in a crumble and it is a great way of using up that leftover fruit sitting sadly in your fruit bowl.

So forget plain old rhubarb or apple crumble and get creative.

You can make a crumble with:

• apples
• apricots
• blueberries
• blackberries
• blackcurrants
• cranberries
• gooseberries
• mango
• nectarines
• pears
• peaches
• plums (try this vegan plum crumble with oats)
• raspberries
• rhubarb
• strawberries 

You can get creative with the crumble topping too

Just add:

• chocolate chips
• cinnamon
• dried apricots
• dried cranberries
• ginger
• muesli
• nuts
• oats
• raisins
• sultanas

Only choose one or two extras for the crumble topping. You don't want to overpower the filling.

Scottish Rhubarb & Berry Crumble

This rhubarb and berry crumble is made with fresh rhubarb, strawberries and raspberries.

The flavours work so well together and if you have someone in your family who isn't keen on rhubarb, you may find that mixing the rhubarb with other berries or even apples will make it more appealing to them.

Frozen fruit in a crumble

I used fresh fruit for this crumble but you could also use frozen fruit. 

Especially if the rhubarb and berries are out of season.

Crumble is a very forgiving pudding, so frozen fruit works really well in it.

Sometimes it's also cheaper to make a crumble with frozen fruit and remember it is picked and frozen quickly at it's peak of ripemess so it can be just as good or in some cases better than fresh fruit.

What's the difference between a crumble and a crisp?

There is not a lot of difference.

The are both fruit puddings with a crispy topping.

In Scotland we add oats to a crumble topping very much like an American fruit crisp.

The crumble is made of butter (or dairy free spread), sugar and flour, which is also called a streusel topping, but oats are added.
