    Used a bit of ground ginger as didn't want to buy stem ginger and was lovely. Will invest in stem ginger now and make again!

    Really really good! I initially thought the topping was not melded together enough, but it covered all the fruit really nicely. I loved the mango, ginger and pear flavours all together. Thumbs up from me and the boyfriend.

    Very simple to make and tasted divine! Love the exotic mix of mango with the ginger and pear. The dish I used was a bit small, and I only had 1 mango so reduced the other ingredients accordingly, but there didn't seem enough crumble, so next time I will add more! We had this served straight out the oven with custard.

    So delicious! I always make half quantities using 1 mango. I have also used a tin of pears instead of fresh, omitting the first lot of sugar and the extra cooking step. I sprinkle the chopped pecans after the topping as I always have too much topping - that way there are no nuts wasted if you have to throw some away. Oh and don't overdo the fresh ginger. I used a touch too much first time I cooked this and the gingers heat and spiciness almost overpowered the subtle flavours of the fruit. It takes about 2-3 times cooking it to get it to your personal taste.
