Hwsgo has been innovative in the kitchen. Perhaps my "try it and see" style of cooking is rubbing off on him after all. Anyways, he found himself without a lemon (a terrible sin in his household) whilst making an apple crumble, and substituted it with a lime instead.
It's quite a revelation. All the liminess of a key lime pie, but underlaid with the sweet crunch of a proper British crumble. It wouldn't work with nuts in the crumble mix, but with a 'normal' Jamie Oliver 8:4:3 (flour:butter:sugar) mix, it works intriguingly well. Although stewing the apples with a little water seems to have left the results a little on the damp side, it's a very tasty damp side.
Go, innovation, go!
