Fruit Cobbler
(A Jamie Oliver recipe)
Ingredients
For the fruit:
2 apricots, stoned and slice
1 pear, cored and thickly sliced
1 punnet blackberries
1 punnet blueberries
1 punnet raspberries
½ an apple, grated
5 tablespoons sugar
A good glug of balsamic vinegar
For the topping:
6 heaped tablespoons butter, chilled
225g self raising flour
70g sugar
A large pinch of salt
130ml buttermilk
A little extra sugar for dusting
Method
Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Put the fruit in a pan with the sugar and the balsamic vinegar, put the pan over the heat, and cook gently until the juices begin to run from the berries. Pour into an ovenproof dish.
Meanwhile make the topping. Rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and salt, stir well then add the buttermilk to form a loose scone type mixture. Spoon this over the hot fruit (to get a cobbled effect, flick balls of dough randomly over the fruit), sprinkle with a little caster sugar and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream. |
