So many times I want to use leftover fruit (alone or in combination) to make fruit crumble and I don’t feel like digging out all the ingredients to make it.   This mix is a terrific time-saver for boating cooks because they just need to add butter to the mixture, place it on 3-4 cups of cut up fresh fruit and pop in the oven for 30 minutes. Make sure your recipient has an oven that browns on the boat (e.g. not simple microwave) or has a land-based home (and oven).

The following mixture makes a crumble that serves 6 people (increase proportionally for several gifts):

 

¾ cup all–purpose flour

¾ cup sugar (white or brown)

½ cup sliced almonds or chopped walnuts

¼ tsp of salt

 

Mix above ingredients and place in screw-top jar (alternatively, you may want to layer ingredients in clear glass jar, starting with flour and salt on the bottom, then brown sugar then nuts.
