Pear and blueberry crumbles .….adulterated from Taste.com.au

Perhaps you are having a dinner party, a Sunday lunch or you just want to eat something warm and delicious when you are home alone with Breakfast at Tiffanys. Make these individual little crumbles and you have everyone smiling on a cold winter’s day.
You can make it a little ahead of time then throw in the oven just before serving..

You need for 6 girls, 4 men, 30 models:
5  Josephine pears, peeled, quartered, sliced
2 teasp fresh lemon juice
1/4 teasp mixed spice
1 teasp grated orange rind
1 tabs brown sugar
300g packet of frozen blueberries
Low fat vanilla yoghurt or full fat King Island cream to drool over.

Crumble mixture:
100g unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1 cup (70g) fresh breadcrumbs

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Pour a wine or ten.
  • Peel, quarter and slice the pears. Or Ask George Clooney to do it because it’s so boring.
  • Zest the orange rind
  • Squeeze the lemon juice.
  • Find a saucepan and toss in the pears, and then stir in the lemon juice, spice, orange rind and sugar. A bit of vanilla essence would be nice to dollop in to.
  • Cover it and let it cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes or until pears have collapsed. Think Lindsay Lohan on a bad day.
  • Now toss in the blueberries. They can be frozen. Think Nicole Kidman.
  • Now while that is bubbling away you can make the crumble;
  • So melt the butter ( if only you could do that so easily to your thighs).
  • Then in a bowl you can pour in the butter, then toss in sugar, oats and breadcrumbs. You can add muesli if you don’t have breadcrumbs.
  • When the pear mix is cooked you can spoon it into 6 cups of ovenproof dishes (strain off a little liquid if necessary).
  • Sprinkle crumble mixture very chicly on top.
  • Place the bowls on a baking tray.
  • Bake until as golden as Chloe wedges.
  • Serve with healthy yoghurt or naughty cream.
