Fruit Glut Recipes
Fruit Sponge
From Eileen Ray
1 cup SR flour (can be gluten free)...
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Vanilla essence as liked
Small knob butter 20-30 gms
Fruit can be virtually any - 750 gms approximately. Apple, pear, plum, peach, apricots, figs, blueberries, nectarines, ...
Put fruit on to cook. When cooked and boiling hot place in a casserole dish with lots of room for the topping.
Melt butter. Add everything else (not fruit) and mix well.
Put in oven 180℃ for about 30 minutes until cooked through. Top will be golden and sides will have shrunk from the edge of the pan.
This can also be cooked in a microwave for approximately 12 minutes on medium.
It can also be cooked in a saucepan on top of the stove - use a pan with a tight fitting lid. Allow room for expansion of the sponge. Takes about 20 minutes on lowest temperature.
WARNING: this will turn out gluggy if the fruit isn't boiling when the sponge is poured over the top.
Has been a family favorite for 30+ years.
