Plum Crumble with Ginger
A simple plum crumble made with small dark Italian (prune) plums, crystallized and ground ginger, and a buttery crust — perfect warm with vanilla ice cream.
This plum crumble, made with the little dark plums called Italian, prune or purple, uses most of the same ingredients as my famous torte, but doesn't require a mixer -- a fork and fingers will do -- and contains bits of crystallized ginger and ground ginger. It has a crusty top with a bit of soft cake underneath, enrobing the plums.
