Quick Raspberry Tart

Ingredients:

125g butter

1 cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 eggs

1½ cups self raising flour

250g Orchard Gold Frozen Raspberries

Icing sugar to taste

Pre-heat oven to 160°C. Grease or spray a 22cm spring-form cake tin.

Soften butter, add sugar and vanilla, and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well, then fold in the self raising flour. Tip into the cake tin and sprinkle Orchard Gold Frozen Raspberries evenly over the mixture.

Bake for approx 60 minutes until cooked.

Deep Dish Berry Cobbler

Fruit base:

1 500g packet Orchard Gold Frozen Mixed Berries

2 apples (or peaches) peeled and diced

25g caster sugar

25g butter, diced

Topping:

100g butter, chilled and diced

225g self raising flour

100g caster sugar

150ml buttermilk

1 tablespoon raw or brown sugar

Pre-heat oven to 190°C.

Fruit Base: place Orchard Gold Frozen Mixed Berries and fruit in a deep dish pie dish and stir through sugar and butter.

Topping: rub butter into flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add sugar and mix well. Lightly mix in the buttermilk until it forms a soft moist dough. Place spoonfuls on top of the berries – leave a little space between each one for the topping to spread. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for approx 35 minutes. It will be cooked when a knife pushed into the centre of the topping comes away clean.

Serve warm with thickened cream, yoghurt or ice cream.

Super Berries for Breakfast:

Start your day with a Super Berry Smoothie: place 125g berries in a blender with half a banana, add juice or milk to desired consistency and blend until smooth. Add yoghurt, honey or sweetener of your choice to taste.

Or warm a cup of Orchard Gold Berries – try Mixed Berries, Raspberries or Blueberries – in the microwave or in a small pot on top of the stove. Add sweetener of your choice, if required. Mix in with hot porridge or muesli and enjoy.
