Gluten-Free Cherry And Pistachio Crumble Perfect for An Autumn Weekend

Ingredients:

Cherry filling:

900g of cherries, stoned
2 tbsp of light muscovado sugar
2 tbsp of brandy
1 knob of butter

Crumble:

100g of rice flour
100g of light muscovado sugar
50g of gluten-free oats
50g of pistachio nuts, unsalted
100g of unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
1 pinch of salt

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
For the fruit filling, place the cherries in a deep ovenproof dish and scatter over the sugar and brandy, then dot over the butter
To make the crumble topping, place all the dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse to roughly chop the nuts and oats – you can skip this step if you prefer a more rustic finish and just keep the nuts whole
Add the cold butter cubes to the food processor and pulse until it resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, use your fingertips to rub the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it becomes a sandy rubble
Scatter the crumble topping over the fruit and bake for 35-40 minutes. Serve piping hot, straight out the oven

Nala's Dream by Taylan Kurtul

Nala’s Dream is a magical children’s story with an incredibly poignant story behind it. It was first imagined by five-year-old Taylan Kurtul, who dreamed up an adventure in which his real-life kitten, Nala, travels into space. Taylan sadly died in February 2024, just eight months after being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour. His mum lovingly brought the story he created to life as a book in his memory, celebrating Taylan’s wonderful imagination while raising vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. A beautiful legacy filled with adventure, love and a little boy’s magic.
