The kit, the crumble and the ice cream …

… the photos

This useful piece of kit does exactly what you want, takes up very little space and isn't expensive either - it's actually described as a compact mini chopper – model number CH180 – I found it for £19.99.

I hope you're inspired to give one or all of the recipes a try – you won't be sorry – they are all quick and easy and each element can be made when you have time – what did we do before we had freezers?!

P.s. I'd begin by roasting the plums, after that the world really is your plum – sorry.
