Juicy Plum Crumble with red wine
This amazing plum crumble comes with a little twist: added red wine and Cointreau give it this little something. Grown ups will love this plum dessert. A good crumble always brings joy for everyone around the table.
I always have loads of home grown plums in my freezer so I now and then opt to make an old favourite: plum crumble. I made a syrup with some red wine and spices to add to the plums and the smell of the crumbles cooking was heavenly. I did of course make an extra one for us to enjoy that night.
