Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Destone and quarter the plums and mix with the blackberries in a baking dish. Sprinkle over the sugar and cornflour, then evenly pour over the mulled wine. Toss gently to coat, then roast for 10 mins or until the plums are starting to soften.
- Meanwhile, mix the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl and rub in the butter to resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the mixed spice, orange zest and chopped hazelnuts.
- Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, then bake for 30 mins or until golden and crisp. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if you like.
