Sour Cherry & Hazelnut Crumble

This dessert is easy to whip up when you are craving summery sour cherries and the warm summer breeze.  The jarred sour cherries are topped with a buttery, toasted hazelnut crumble, your guests will surely be pleased and begging for seconds!

And if you have leftover cherry juice like we did, make an excellent refreshing spritzer spiked with vodka, a twist of lime and serve over ice.

Ingredients from our pantry include Tamek Sour Cherry Jam, roasted hazelnut flour, kuzu starch, jarred sour cherries and blanched hazelnuts.

  1.  Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the sour cherries.
  2. Place a sauce pan over medium heat and add the entire jar of cherry jam, reserved cherry juice, and kudzu starch mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until thickened. 

  3. Pour the thickened mixture over the drained sour cherries and give it a mix.  Spread the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish and set aside while you make the crumble mixture.

  4. Add the chopped hazelnuts, brown butter, jaggery, oat flour, roasted hazelnut flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Combine with your fingers or a pastry cutter until coarse crumbles and pea sized clumps form.

  5. Top the cherry mixture with the hazelnut crumble mixture and place in the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

  6. Serve warm with vanilla bean whipped cream or ice cream.
