A recipe from ” Good Things to Eat” by Lucas Hollweg. He says that although not strictly a crumble, it is equally satisfying. The topping hardens into a delicious softly chewy layer on top of the fruit. Seve with cream or vanilla ice cream.
A delicious chutney which goes very well with smoked mackeral among other things. The recipe is from ” The Women’s Instiute Homemade Jams and Chutneys” by Midge Thomas.
A simple recipe for Pork from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. I eat pork very rarely, but when i do it must be organic or outdoor reared.Like Diana, I particularly recommend Gloucestershire Old Spot if you can get it. Serve this dish with rice and stir fried greens or a watercress or spinach salad.
Another delicious summer dessert from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You can add blackberries or blackcurrants to the cooked fruit before serving if you like.My friend Angela has made this using port instead of the red wine and this worked very well too. Serve with a big bowl of sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixed with Greek Yoghurt.
Delicious plums from ” Organic” by Sophie Grigson and William Black. Serve cold with cream, and some extra sugar or honey on the table for those who like their fruit a little sweeter.
