Pear and Blackberry Brown Betty Recipe

Pear and Blackberry Brown Betty Recipes

Ingredients :

75g butter, diced

175g breadcrumbs made from one day old bread

450g ripe pears

450g blackberries

grated rind and juice of 1 small orange

115g demerara sugar

demerara sugar, for sprinkling

Method :

Preheat the oven to 350F, Gas 4. Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan over a moderate heat, add the breadcrumbs and stir until golden. Peel and core the pears, then cut them into thick slices and mix with the blackberries, orange rind and juice. Mix the demerara sugar with the breadcrumbs, then layer with the fruit in a 900ml buttered baking dish, beginning and ending with a layer of sugared breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the extra sugar over the top. Cover the baking dish, then bake the pudding for 20 minutes. Uncover the pudding, then bake for a further 30-35 minutes, until the fruit is cooked and the top brown and crisp.

To make Apple and Raspberry Brown Betty, substitute tart eating apples for the pears and use fresh, but not too ripe, raspberries in place of the blackberries. All this delicious fruity pudding needs to go with it is some hot, home made custard, pouring cream or ice cream.
