BREAKFAST BERRIES
Warm 1 cup Orchard Gold Berries – try Mixed Berries, Blueberries, Red and Blalck Berries or Super Berries - 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.

Variation: Puree the berries and drizzle over morning porridge or cereal.
 
BERRY PANCAKES
Make up a pancake batter by sieving 2 cups of self raising flour in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 2 cups of milk and 2 large beaten eggs. Gradually whisk in the milk and egg into the flour. Set aside for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before using. 

Heat a large frying pan, wipe or spray with oil, and pour in ¼ cup of batter. Swirl the pan around to spread the mixture out to the sides of the pan.
Cook for a couple of minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully turn the pancake and cook on the other side. 

Meanwhile tip a bag of Orchard Gold Berries into a saucepan, heat until warm, and sweeten as desired. Pour over the cooked pancakes and serve with yoghurt or cream.

BLUEBERRY BREAD
AND BUTTER PUDDING
6-8 slices white bread (1 day old works better than fresh), crusts removed, and buttered.
2 cups of Orchard Gold Blueberries
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1½ cups milk.

Cut the buttered bread into triangles. Grease an ovenproof dish and lay half the bread triangles on the base. Sprinkle with half the Blueberries. Make another layer of bread triangles and Blueberries.

Beat the eggs with the sugar, add the milk, and pour carefully over the bread and Blueberries. Press down on the bread lightly. Allow to stand for 30 minutes before baking in a moderate oven (180°C) for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with cream or ice cream.

Variation: Try using Raspberries or Mixed Berries in place of Blueberries.
 
INDIVIDUAL BERRY CRUMBLES
Heat Orchard Gold Mixed Berries until warm and sweeten if desired. Half fill individual ramekins or cups with the berries.

In a bowl place ½ cup each of brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, and cornflakes or muesli. Melt 100g of butter or margarine and mix into crumble mix. Add ¼ cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts or pistachios). Mix well. Spoon on top of the berries.

Bake for 30 minutes at 190°C.   Serve with yoghurt, cream or ice cream.


HOT BERRY COULI DUNKS
Place 2 cups of Orchard Gold berries – Mixed Berries, Red and Black Berries, or Smoothie Berries into a saucepan or microwave jug. Heat until warm, add 2 tablespoons of Icing Sugar to taste. Puree in a blender, then sieve to remove seeds.

Pour the couli into small bowls and use for dunking – try dipping hotcakes, pikelets, or toasted crumpets. Cut up raw apples, mandarins and bananas make great dippers too.  Or try crispy hot bacon or sausages.
