Sweet cherries are one of my favourite fruits. The are great from the branch, in jam and also tasty then they’re hot and covered with crumble :). I’ve made a crumble with sweet cherries and nectarines just to have something sweet to afternoon coffee. Instead of big baking tray I’ve used small ramekins cause I wanted everyone to have his own mini-crumble :).

CRUMBLE WITH SWEET CHERRIES AND NECTARINES

125 g butter (soft)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

500 g  sweet cherries

4 nectarines

8 tbsp brown sugar

Clean and stone the sweet cherries. Stone the nectarines and cut into quite big cubes.

The recipe is enough for eight 200ml ramekins

ORANGE ICE-CREAM

500 ml milk

125 g sugar

1 vanilla bean

6 egg yolks

100 ml cream

1/4 cup orange marmalade

1 tbs orange zest

In the saucepan, on the medium heat, heat up milk, 2/3 of sugar and cutted lenghtwise vanilla cane. Bring milk to the boil.
In bowl whisk yolks with the rest of sugar until it become creamy. Pour boiling milk into yolks using whisker all the time and pour it again into the saucepan. Heat it up on the low heat mixing it all the time with wooddem spatula until it starts to paste the spatula. Pour it into the bowl and leave it to let it get cold. Mix it from time to time to avoid creating skin on it. Strain cold cream by using a strainer.

Marmalade and orange zest add to the cold cream. Put it into the plastic box and refrigerate it. Put the refrigerated cream into the ice-cream making machine and follow the instructions. Slowly pour the cream into the almost done ice-cream when the ice-cream maker is on and mix it for about 10 minutes.

Serve with a little bit of orange zest od it.
