Tropical Fruit Crumble

 I am really happy with the end results. Perfect combination of tart and sweet topped with a fantastic crumble and English Custard



Ingredients:

4lb bag of mixed fruits
2 TBS ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
Bird's Custard (optional)
36 Nature Valley Crunchy Oats N Honey Granola Bars

Procedure:

In large bowl combine fruit cinnamon sugar and flour. You may need to cut the fruit into smaller chunks. Mix well. Spread out on two Medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer trays lined with silicon mat or parchment payer. The liner is VERY IMPORTANT as this will stick.

If desired mix custard according to package directions. Using a double recipe. This will fill 1 Medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer tray.

On fourth tray arrange Granola Bars

Freeze all four trays until frozen solid

On Freeze Dryer select Pre Frozen Solid and follow screen instructions.

Package Freeze Dried contents in 3ea 9 x 7 x 3 foil pans

Reconstitution:

In one pan add 3 cups cold water to fruit mix, removing toppings for later. Cover pan with foil and bake in preheated oven at 375F for 30 minutes.

Remove Foil and top with crumbled granola, return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Cool for at least 5 minutes or desired heat. Top with reconstituted custard if desired.
