1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Place the pears in a medium-size pan, add the granulated sugar and cook on a medium heat until the fruit starts to soften and releases its juices, about 10 mins. Add the blackberries and bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat. Spoon the fruity mixture into 4 individual ovenproof ramekins, or 1 large baking dish.
2. Place the flour, butter and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and rub together with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the pistachios and demerara sugar, then stir to combine.
3. Sprinkle crumble evenly over the cooked fruit. This can be done up to 1 day ahead, or frozen for up to 1 month. Bake for 20-25 mins if small, 40 mins if large, until golden. If baking from frozen, add 15 mins cooking time. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, then serve with ice cream, if you like.

  This recipe is awesome! The pistachios are a great touch to the crumble! Sweating the pears with the sugar in the pan produced an exceptionally tasty coulis and the blackberries added a tartiness that complimented the softness of the pears.

  This was delicious! I swapped the blackberries for raspberries and I didn't have pistachios so added some jumbo oats to make it crunchy.Got the thumbs up from my husband so definitely will be making again
