About this recipe:
You can use whole plums for this crumble or halve the plums and de-stone them to prevent a choking hazard, before adding your crumble topping. ‘Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich-man, poor-man, beggar man, thief’ is the traditional counting rhyme used to count out the number of stones each person finds in their serving of this classic English dessert. One stone referring to the first occupation on the list, two stones to the second occupation and so on.

So enjoyed this authentic crumble. I added some brandy which added to its overall taste. I recommend anyone to try it and the next time I use it I may try different fruit. Exceptional!
