    By the time a plum's been cooked the skin should be soft and tender, especially if it's been frozen along the way.

    I freeze halved plums for crumble, also leaving the skins on. Plum crumble with Zwetschen or Early Rivers varieties works extremely well.  I bake the crumble separately if the plums were frozen so it doesn't sink into the juice. Which is sort of a shame because I like an element of gooey crumble bottom.

    Try partially freezing them ,maybe for an hour or so. That might work.

    I invariably make too much crumble @Tack 😊 so put the extra in a side dish, that way get both crunchy and gooey 😆

    That's clever!  I always make big batches of crumble and freeze what I don't need so I can have spontaneous crumble.   If I know the base is going to be juicy I just bake all the crumble separately so it isn't all soggy.

    But the soggy bit is the best bit @Obelixx 😊

    NO, like it chewy or crunchy but not soggy.

    I think we have a Jack Spratt situation here😉😆
    Crumble should be crispy with oozy jammy bits popping up around the edges. No soggy bottoms
