Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

-strawberries, currants,
-bilberries or whatever is
-available
-honey or brown sugar to
-taste
3 oz Tasted hazelnuts
3 oz Wholewheat breadcrumbs

A baked dessert like this would have been sunk in the embers of the log
fire with a cauldron or pot upturned over it to form a lid…
Put the fruits in a pan or microwave dish with about 1 inch water in the
bottom and cook gently for 10-15 minutes (4-6 minutes in microwave), or
till the fruits are soft without being totally mushy. Sweeten to taste with
honey or brown sugar (Saxons would have used honey); how much you need will
depend on what fruits you have used. drain the excess juice and save to
serve with the pudding. chop the hazelnuts in a processor or liquidiser
until they are almost as fine as the breadcrumbs, but not quite, then mix
the two together. Spoon the fruit into an ovenproof dish and cover with a
thick layer of hazelnuts and crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven (180C) for 20
to 30 minutes or till the top is slightly cruncy and browned. Serve
with lots of cream or plain yogurt and the warmed fruit juices.
