Strawberry Plum Crumble

Strawberry plum crumble is a delicious autumn fruit crumble pudding. Fresh strawberries and plums are used but tinned would work also. For photographic reasons I made individual servings but this is not essential, as using a large oven proof baking dish works just as well. Delicious hot or cold with ice cream, custard or simple pouring double cream.
