Recipe: Peachy Pear Crumble (using oats and peach preserves)

PEACHY PEAR CRUMBLE

1/2 cup peach preserves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 pears, peeled, cored, sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons milk
Low-fat sour cream or frozen yogurt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place peach preserves, lemon juice and ginger in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer to liquefy the preserves. Add pear slices; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine flour, oats, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Blend in butter to make a crumbly mixture. Add milk; loosely combine until just blended, tossing with a fork.

Pour pear mixture into 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over surface. Bake about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned and bubbling. Serve warm with a few teaspoons of sour cream or frozen yogurt.
