Raspberry & redcurrant cobbler  recipe

Ingredients

  • 200g redcurrant
  • 500g raspberries
  • juice 1 orange
  • 2-4 tbsp caster sugar

For the cobbler

  • 85g cold butter, cubed
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 100g soft brown sugar
  • 150ml full-fat milk
  • 2 tbsp demerara sugar
  • crème fraîche or ice cream, to serve

Method

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. If the redcurrants are still on their stalks, run each stalk through the tines of a fork to release them. If you have the time and inclination, pinch the little end stalks off – this will make them nicer to eat.

  • Put the redcurrants and raspberries into a 1-litre baking dish, add the orange juice and shake over most of the sugar. Taste a raspberry first to gauge whether you will need all the sugar or not.

  • To make the cobbler, whizz the butter, flour, soft brown sugar and a pinch of salt to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Mix in the buttermilk or milk to make a very soft, spoonable dough.

  • Dollop the dough over the fruit in blobs and sprinkle with demerara. Bake for 55 mins or until the top is golden and cooked through and the berries bubbling.
