This is so easy and wonderful for a big family get-together. It takes moments to assemble and milliseconds to be gobbled up.
Ingredients
- 13 oz (375 g) vanilla or plain sweet shortcrust pastry made with 125 g (4 oz) butter and 250 g (9 oz) plain flour
- 5 oz (150 g) blackberries
- 4 large plums, stoned and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/Gas 7). Butter a 24 cm (9 in) flan tin. Roll out the pastry so it is a bit larger than the tin. Line the tin with the pastry, leaving some hanging over the edge. Pile the fruit into the pastry, and sprinkle it with half the sugar.
- Fold the rough pastry edges over the fruit (there should be a big gap in the middle) and sprinkle over the rest of the sugar. Place the pie in the oven and after 20 minutes cover with foil. Bake for another 15 minutes.
- Serve with cream.
