Title: Good-looking crumble?
Post by: Grandma on September 06, 2007, 16:52:05
Does anyone know how to stop the fruit juice bubbling up the sides and spoiling the look of the top? I know it doesn't matter taste-wise but I really need to make a handsome one for Saturday evening. Thanks.

I have known people to put a layer of sliced banana between fruit and crumble.

     Just lower temperature.      150 for about 30 min

Many thanks Tim and springs! Made two whoppers - (gooseberry with a white sugar and ground almond top and raspberry and redcurrant with a demerara/soft dark brown sugar top) - and both looked absolutely perfect! I put them on the table with pride - instead of apologies! Very grateful indeed.  :)

The banana idea sounds interesting, mr - will try it one day (at 150!!!) Thank you.

the bits bubbling up at the sides are the best bit!

So long as they stay there - & not on the oven floor!

For me too, I push the crumble down at the edges to make it happen.  :D

The caramelised bits when that happens get fought over in our house!!

My crumble-loving family and I couldn't agree more!  :) But there are times when the appearance really does matter - and the ones I made Saturday actually looked exactly like the pictures in the recipe books! Just right for that paticular 'occasion'  ;)
