Ingredients

For the crumble topping

Instructions

If the pears are firm or under-ripe, place the pears in a pan with 2 tsp of sugar and a tsp of water. Cover and cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes or until the pears have softened.
To make the crumble topping, squidge together the flour and butter/margarine in a bowl.
Add the sugar, oats, nutmeg and cloves and rub the mixture lightly between your hands. After a few minutes of rubbing the mixture should be light and free-flowing. Mix in the almonds if using.
Put the pears, blackberries, sugar and nutmeg in a large casserole. Mix well.
Sprinkle the crumble on top and level it out with your fingers. Bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.
