Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Baking dish

Ingredients

  • 4 pears peeled and cored
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 kiwis – we used Zespri SunGold kiwis peeled
  • 200 g plain flour
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 100 g chilled butter cubed
  • Optional: Mixed nuts and seeds

Method

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°C
  • Roughly chop the pears and add to a saucepan with the dark brown sugar, lemon juice, ground ginger and ground cinnamon. Add a splash of water to the pan and heat gently.
  • Over a low heat, heat the mixture until it starts to bubble, the sugar has dissolved, and the pears have softened. If needed add a splash of water to make sure the mixture does not burn.
  • Roughly chop the Zespri SunGold kiwis and add to the pan, stirring to coat them in all the sticky sugary mix.
  • Take off the heat and pour into a baking dish.
  • Make the crumble topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and caster sugar. Add the cubed butter and using the tips of your fingers, rub the butter through the flour mix to form a breadcrumb like consistency. Be careful not to overwork it or the crumble will become heavy.
  • If using, roughly chop a selection of mixed nuts and seeds and stir through the crumble mix.
  • Spoon the crumble mix onto the top of the baking dish and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  • Serve warm with ice cream, cream or custard.
