This cherry crumble captures all the rich, vibrant flavour of cherries using only Eden Orchards 100% Pure Cherry Juice. As the juice gently simmers, it reduces into a naturally sweet, ruby-red fruit filling beneath a golden, buttery crumble topping. It's simple to make, perfect for sharing, and delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream, yoghurt or custard.

Ingredients

Cherry Juice Filling

• 500ml Eden Orchards 100% Pure Cherry Juice
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 2 tbsp cold water
• 2 tbsp raw sugar or brown sugar (optional, depending on your preferred sweetness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Crumble Topping

• 1 cup plain flour
• ¾ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 125g cold butter, diced
• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
2. Pour the cherry juice into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to reduce by about one-third (around 15-20 minutes) to concentrate the flavour.
3. Stir together the cornflour and cold water until smooth. Whisk into the reduced juice along with the vanilla, lemon juice and optional sugar. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes until thickened into a glossy cherry sauce.
4. Pour the filling into a medium baking dish.
5. To make the crumble, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Rub the cold butter through with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Scatter the crumble evenly over the cherry filling.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
8. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
