FOR THE PEACH MIXTURE:
6 Firm Ripe Pears
3 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons Sultanas
2 Tablespoons Caster Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cornflour
1 Tablespoon Rum Or Brandy
Fresh Cream Or Custard, To Serve

Heat the oven to 190u00b0C / 400u00b0F / Gas mark 6.
2
Peel the pears and cut into quarters, removing the cores.

Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the pears in the butter for 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Sprinkle over the sultanas, sugar, cinnamon, cornflour and rum or brandy. Stir to coat.
4
Place in a shallow ovenproof dish and set aside.

To make the crumble, sift the flour and the salt into a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar then rub in a little more so that the mixture begins to form clumps. Sprinkle over the pear mixture and cook in the oven for 30-40 minutes until lightly browned on top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
