I happen to have the most wonderful and saintly mother in law of all time. And I don't mean this sarcastically. Rita Alza is so kind and thoughtful that in my humble opinion, she really should be sainted. While visiting her this weekend, she was kind enough to send us off with a variety of fruits that she has on some of her trees at her home. Japanese plum, aka Loquat, aka Nispero en espanol, are a small yellow plum that pack a super sweet punch. She offered so many that a recipe involving these little sweeties was a no brainer, so off to Pinterest I searched. Taken from cdkitchen.com on Pinterest, my version adds cranberries along with the raisins that the original recipe calls for. My crumble mix was my creation: recommended oatmeal, but also brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. I also topped mine with a little whipped cream when served. You could also try it with Greek yogurt or ice cream.
Ingredients:
3 cups Japanese Plums, washed and pitted
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup water
Mix all ingredients except crumble mixture and put on burner on low-medium heat for 30 min:
While the plums are cooking on the stove, pre heat oven to 350 and prepare crumble mixture:
When plums are finished on stove, pour into your baking dish and add crumble mix to top:
Bake at 350 until mixture is crispy, about 15 minutes:
Add topping:
