Strawberry and blackberry crumble

Strawberry and blackberry crumble

This elegant strawberry and blackberry crumble recipe looks beautiful served in individual glass dishes. The key is cooking the crumble and the compote separately and then bringing them together at the end. The rosewater and elderflower bring out the fragrance of the strawberries, making this a simple yet sophisticated dessert. If you can’t get fresh berries then frozen berries can be substituted.

For dessert: Chocolate dipped strawberries
