Fruit slice with Raspberry Jam
 
 
This recipe is almost legendary in our house. Everyone starts licking their lips when someone says ‘you should make that fruit slice with raspberry jam’!
Serves: 18 - 20
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of self raising flour
  • 1 cup of lightly packed brown sugar
  • 125g of butter, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup of raspberry jam
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¾ cup of milk
  • ½ teaspoon of mixed spice
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 cup of mixed fruit
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  2. Line a 20 cm x 30 cm (8” x 12”) slice tin with baking paper.
  3. Place the flour, brown sugar, and butter into a food processor fitted with an S blade and pulse until the mixture resembles bread crumbs (you can also rub the butter into the flour and sugar using your fingers if you don’t have a food processor).
  4. Divide the mixture in half and spread one half into the prepared tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Spread the base with the jam and set aside. *
  6. To the remaining mixture, add the egg, milk, mixed spice, and baking powder and mix well to make a batter.
  7. Add the mixed fruit to the batter and again mix well.
  8. Carefully spoon the batter over the jam base and smooth to edges.
  9. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until golden brown, edges of slice will also shrink away from the sides of the tin when cooked.
Notes
* Warm the jam in the microwave for a few seconds and use a greased butter knife to make spreading the jam easier.
