1. Apricot and almond jam at Simply Wild - the organic supermarket.
2. A random whiff of baking coming from one of the flats under the offices next door.
3. Crumble made from blackberries I picked myself on the Common. The berries are very tart and the juice and topping are very sweet.
I'm putting my crumble recipe here -
ReplyDeletePut the fruit (any will do but sour sour sour is best - apple, blackberries, raspberries, currants red and black) in a pie dish.
Scatter on two tablespoons (soup spoons - I don't think I own a table spoon) of sugar. Don't mix it - just let it sit. This is topped with crunchy brown sugar, plain flour and butter whizzed up into 'bread crumbs'.
Then I baked it in a hot oven (190C) for 30 mins - actually it was nearer 45 because I got all involved with shelf painting and the Archers on the radio.
You know it's done when the topping is brown and the fruit is trying to escape.
Erm. You made me hungry! I think it's breakfast time :)
