    Simply delicious

    Blueberry pie

    Preparation time: approx. 40 minutes (plus standing and baking time)

    Makes 12 slices

    For the pastry

    200 g flour

    1 egg

    120 g butter

    60 g sugar

    pinch of salt

    For the topping

    400 g blueberries

    1 egg

    250 ml cream

    2 tbsp sugar

    Additionally

    butter for the tin

    1To make the shortcrust pastry, sift the flour onto the work surface and make a well in the middle. Put the egg in the well. Cut the butter into pieces and put on the rim with the sugar and salt.

    2Chop the ingredients roughly with a knife, then knead with the hands to make a smooth dough. Wrap the pastry in foil and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

    3Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Pick over the blueberries, then wash and drain well. Roll out the pastry and line a greased springform tin (24 cm diameter), pressing firmly on the sides. Pierce the pastry several times with a fork. Arrange the blueberries on the pastry.

    4Whisk together the cream and sugar and pour over the berries. Bake the pie on the middle shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes.

    Raspberry whirl

    Preparation time: approx. 40 minutes (plus baking time)

    Makes 12 slices

    For the pastry

    5 eggs

    190 g butter

    225 g sugar

    pinch of salt

    225 g flour

    150 g frozen raspberries

    For the buttercream

    100 g soft butter

    160 g icing sugar

    1 tsp milk

    pinch of pink food colouring

    Additionally

    butter and flour for the tin

    1Pre-heat the oven to 225 °C (Gas Mark 7). Butter a springform tin (26 cm diameter) and dust with flour. Separate the eggs and whisk the whites until stiff. Chill until required.

    2Melt the butter in a shallow saucepan and cool slightly. Cream together the egg yolk, sugar and salt. Stir in the flour followed by the melted butter. Spoon the whisked egg whites onto the dough and fold in.

    3Put half the dough in the tin. Crush the raspberries lightly in a bowl with a fork, then spread over the dough. Top with the remainder of the pastry, then move a fork lightly around the tin, working from bottom to top. Bake the cake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 175 °C (Gas Mark 3.5) and bake for a further 40 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.

    4Meanwhile, cream together the butter, icing sugar and milk. Colour one half of the buttercream with pink food colouring. Dot the top of the cold cake liberally with the two creams to create a lovely marble effect.

    Stewed plum tart

    with crumble topping

    Preparation time: approx. 40 minutes (plus baking and chilling time)

    Makes 12 slices

    For the pastry

    175 g butter

    250 g flour

    100 g ground walnuts

    100 g sugar

    1 egg

    pinch of salt

    ½ tsp cinnamon

    50 g chopped walnuts

    For the stewed plums

    1 kg plums

    150 g sugar

    60 g butter

    150 ml red wine

    1 tsp grated rind of 1 unwaxed lemon

    1 tsp rosemary

    1 cinnamon stick

    1 tbsp plum brandy

    Additionally

    butter for the tin

    flour for rolling out

    ground walnuts to sprinkle

    1To make the pastry, combine all the ingredients except for the cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Roll two-thirds of the pastry into a ball, then wrap in film and chill for about 1 hour. Knead together the remaining pastry with the cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Roll into a ball, wrap in clingfilm and chill.

    2To stew the plums, first wash and dry them, then cut them into halves and remove the stones. Put the sugar in a saucepan and caramelise until golden. The add the butter. Pour over the red wine and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.

    3Add the grated lemon rind, rosemary, cinnamon stick and plums. Simmer, uncovered, over a low heat for about 40 minutes until the plums have dissolved into a thick paste, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave until completely cold. Stir in the plum brandy.

    4Butter a tart tin (28 cm diameter). Roll the larger pastry ball out on a floured work surface and line the tin. Pierce the base several times with a fork, then cover and chill for a further hour.

    5Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Spread the stewed plums over the pastry base. Crumble the remainder of the pastry over the plums. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes. Cover with a piece of aluminium foil if the crumble starts to get too dark. A little cinnamon cream will go well with this tart.
