* Preparing fruit. Generally the fruit used in crumble is lightly stewed. To do this, prepare fruit by peeling (if necessary), and removing any inedible parts. Place in a pan & add a small amount of water, just covering the fruit. Add a tablespoon of sugar & boil until just soft.

You may wish to add half a teaspoon of cinnamon to the fruit mix once it's cooked.
