Cherry-Plum Port Crumble

July 12, 2015 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 31 Comments

In my home fruit is a constant. In fact, Cole and I are happy to to snack our way through the day having handfuls of it along with this or that, so it goes without saying our fruit bins are always brimming.

But on occasion when we are on the run like we have been for the last few weeks with baseball playoffs, the basket can become full of past-their-prime fruit. When that happens here are just a few of my favorite options: ice cream, smoothies, pie and crumbles. 

Today we are doing crumble—specifically this cherry plum port crumble. The port makes this crumble—so yes, you need to go out and buy some.

Whether you decide to go for this cherry plum combo or any other fruit combination, this port crumble is a sure bet. Easy to make, simple in design, and always a crowd pleaser, you can eat this straight up or with a scoop of ice cream. I like it both ways—straight up for breakfast; a la mode for every other time.

Cherry-Plum Port Crumble

Ingredients

  • Crumble
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 /2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • Filling
  • 3 cups cherries, stemmed and pitted
  • 4 medium size plums, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup port wine

Instructions

Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

To make crumble: In a large bowl, combine and whisk all ingredients but the butter. Pour in butter and using two forks toss until large clumps form. Do not over work. Mixture should have a combination of large and finer clumps. Set aside.

To make filling: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and set aside for 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer fruit to a 9x9 pan or a large oven proof 10-inch pan. Transfer juice to a small saucepan and reduce until syrupy over medium-high heat, about 5-6 minutes. Pour over fruit.

Sprinkle crumble on top of fruit and bake until golden, about 30-35 minutes.

    Hi Naomi,
    I love the looks of this. I have a huge cherry tree, so I am collecting all sorts of cherry recipes at the moment. This will definitely make it on the list, it is something I never had before. 🙂

    This crumble sounds so good! It’s such a simple dessert that you managed to make really special! Yummy!

    Looks lovely! I assume it’s 1/4 cup port?

    I JUST bought a TON of cherries, but don’t have any port.
    Guess I’ll be going to the store today, because this is definitely a good reason to get my booze buying on. Gorgeous! Pinned!

    What a great looking crumble, Naomi! I could eat so much of this!

  6. Liz @ Floating Kitchen says

    This is gorgeous, Naomi. The color is to die for! And I love this combination with the port. I always have so much fruit on hand that I usually do smoothies when it starts to go south, but I like your idea here much better! 🙂

    Gosh I have been craving a cherry crumble all week. This looks perfect and I haven’t had any plums yet this summer! This is definitely going on my must-bake list. Our fruit baskets are always overflowing too- last week we had some overripe bananas so we’ve been snacking on banana bread for the last few days 😉

    Cherry crumble sounds so good right now, and yours looks delicious, Naomi! I love the pot you served it in-it’s so pretty and rustic (:

    Love it, cherries in our house never stand around for too long, because me and my husband love them so much, we eat them in one sitting.

    I love crumbles in the summer!!! We also always have fruit in our house. . I bake a lot of breads and muffins if I have too much or if the fruit is overly ripe. but in the summer, we do a pretty good job of polishing off the fresh fruit . . esp for breakfast and snacking! love this crumble!

    Crumbles are a favorite in our house!

    So pretty, what’s not to love about port and stone fruit?

  20. Kaitlin says

    July 13, 2015 at 5:48 pm

    Mmmm! I bet the port is a beautiful addition!

    I love this time of year because I am crazy about snacking on fruit, but I feel like I go through it too fast! I need to plant some fruit trees and berry bushes 😀

    This crumble is a stunner. I soooo wish I wasn’t allergic to cherries. I can definitely replace with another fruit.

    Wowzer – is it possible that I just gleeked looking at this crumble? Yes, it is a certainty that I did!! Holy moly my favorite summer dessert gone BOOZY!

  25. Mary Frances says

    July 15, 2015 at 8:42 am

    Wow–the crumble looks amazing!! Cherries and plums sound like a divine combo.

    This is like my dream dessert….Matt is such a lucky guy! 🙂

    I like roasting over ripe fruit – then add to ice cream to concentrate the flavor. But if I had cherris and plums…hello…I’d be making this!

  28. Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says

    July 16, 2015 at 6:28 am

    Cherries and plums baked with port…oh my, that sounds so wonderful!

    I absolutely love summertime for all of its seasonal fruits, and turning those fruits into a crumble is one of the best things ever. The color of this crumble looks fabulous!

    I made this tonight—-so good!
    I didn’t have port so I subbed a T of cognac and a T of pinot noir. I did not cook down the juices.
    The crumble was really good and plentiful for the square baking dish I used.

    This looks delish, but i have cherries and blackberries – no plums! 4 medium plums is how many cups of blackberries, do you have a guess?

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck!
