The current news is enough to drive anyone in search of sugary comfort food and the recipes suggested in this blog may help to ease that craving.
I rustled up one of my retro recipes at the weekend, one of our favourite oaty crumbles, laced with grated cinnamon for an autumnal feel. From an an old Tesco microwave cookbook circa 1984 it calls itself an apple amber but I always throw in a large bag of frozen summer fruits instead and this time I combined my tayberries with some blueberries.
I never use the nuts or walnuts and the combination of oats and breadcrumbs is the tastiest. I don't cook in the microwave ... I just pop in the oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour.
Great with good ice cream or hot custard it's one that wraps its arms around you and gives you a great big hug .... something we all need at the moment!
A quick pannacotta with a sharp tayberry coulis can also do the trick!
