    A lovely pudding. Made it into one large dish and not seperate. The nuts were a little large and could have been crushed a little and it needed a little creme fraiche or similar. Also, not as sweet as some crumbles which was good - next time might add a few strawberries to the mix.

    I used apple juice instead of orange and it worked really well with the plums and cinnamon. Loved the flaked almonds in the crumble! Will make sure I always use those when making crumble in the future. However, I also used one large dish instead of individual ones as I wanted to serve a choice of cream or custard.

    Love this crumble topping. I have made this several times, always in a large dish instead of small ones and everyone loves it. Works well with apples with the plums as well, though then use apple juice instead. Yum.

    I too made this in a large dish. I used 8 sm plums and also added 4 big strawberries as suggested above; the result was delicious. I was a bit worried that there was a lot of cinnamon but it was ok. I don't think I will use quite so much orange juice next time as the plum mix was a bit too runny; I had to thickened it with some cornflour.

    Used mixed chopped nuts for this instead of sliced almonds and bought some special little dishes to make it in. Really pleased with it, will definately do this again.

    Have enjoyed making many variations of this recipe with different combinations of fruit. Current favourite is peach and plum without the almonds. Lovely!!

    This is a lovely crumble, I found the recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some rather lacklustre plums which I bought in the supermarket. It was really tasty with some caramel ice cream!

    I found some very delicious over priced (£4 for 6 ) plums on the reduced counter for a bargain £1! So I made one large crumble & added 2 apples left in the fruit dish & squeezed to large oranges over the top. Followed the rest of the recipe. Absolutely delicious! Will make this again! Crumble topping was excellent!
