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
Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Line a 20 cm x 30 cm (8” x 12”) slice tin with baking paper.
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).
Divide the mixture in half and spread one half into the prepared tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon.
Spread the base with the jam and set aside. *
To the remaining mixture, add the egg, milk, mixed spice, and baking powder and mix well to make a batter.
Add the mixed fruit to the batter and again mix well.
Carefully spoon the batter over the jam base and smooth to edges.
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.
