17 Feb February Dietitian Tip- Stone Fruit
Stone Fruit
Our Dietitian Tip of the Month!
Stone fruit are full of fibre, vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium and plenty of other goodies.
In summer, they are perfect with a little ice-cream for a simple dessert or treat.
Towards the end of the season, when the produce is looking a little soft or bruised, use them to bake a fruit crumble.
You’ll need about a kilogram (total) of your favourite stone fruit and mixed berries. Remove the stones and quarter the fruit. Lay in a baking dish or 6 individual ramekins. In a bowl, combine half a cup of self-raising flour and half a cup rolled oats, 50g flaked almonds and 100g melted butter or margarine. You can add 50g of brown sugar, however I think the stone fruit doesn’t require the additional sugar in the crumble. Layer the crumble over the chopped fruit and berries and bake in the oven at 180 for 30-40 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and soft and the crumble is golden.
