Pears - and Crumbles

A friend very kindly gave us some pears this week, windfalls - wonderful! But what I have learned is that windfall pears are about 50% likely to be soggy and rotten, so no point in storing them.  
We've been cutting them up and eating them - and have made a lovely crumble, using pears, apples, pineapple and a satsuma. It was a wonderful flavour, not identified as any of the fruits mentioned above - just nice.  
I've also frozen a batch, just to see how they are when defrosted, although I fear they may be discoloured, so might cook them with something colourful to hide this, perhaps blackberries or blackcurrants.

16 September: Today we had a yummy crumble - it was apple with a few raspberries.  It was a Delia Smith recipe but I don't put any sugar with the fruit, that way its slight tartness balances well with the sweet topping of 3 oz butter  - 7 oz flour  - 4 oz sugar rubbed together very gently and spread on top of the chopped raw apple and raspberries.  Then cook and enjoy. Bon Apetite!
