616. Comice Pear Pears are not one of my favourite fruits; they lack the tanginess that I like in fruits and they also sometimes have a weird grainy texture. They get much better when they’re cooked though, so I decided I would put the comice pears in a crumble. I mixed the pears with raspberries and vanilla and then added my usual crumble topping before baking it. Crumble is one of my specialities - I think it’s one of the best dishes I cook even if I say so myself. This is mostly because I use a much higher ratio of butter and sugar to flour than you find in most recipes. I hate when you have a crumble and the topping is loose and dry. My crumble is chewy and crunchy and caramelly. Basically, if you mix half and half flour and demerara sugar, then blend in butter until it looks like chunky breadcrumbs you will end up with an awesome crumble. 616 down, 1180 to go
