What could i make with the things that i have got. Maybe a blackberry pie or if we can use blackberrys just a simple cake recipe please

Buy a Be-Ro book, the only recipe book my Mam would have in the house, my sister, brother and I still have one each, infact .. he ... nicked mine and I had to get another one. They're only a couple of pounds though.

Good, simple recipes. I've been on the Be-Ro website for you and got their recipe for a fruit pie.


225 g (8 oz) Be-Ro Rough Puff Pastry
675 g (1? lb) fruit, e.g. apples, blackberries, pears
sugar to taste
milk to glaze


1 Heat oven to 230oC, 450oF, Gas Mark 8.
2 Prepare fruit, sweeten and simmer with a little water for 15 minutes, leave to cool. Fill a 1.2 litre (2 pint) dish with the fruit, placing a pie funnel in the centre.
3 Roll out the pastry, slightly larger than the pie dish.
4 Cut off a 1 cm (? inch) strip right round. Dampen the edge of the dish, press the strip onto the rim then dampen the strip.
5 Cover with the pastry and seal the edge firmly.
6 Trim and decorate with pastry leaves, make a small hole in the centre and brush with milk to galze. Bake for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 190°C, 375°F, Gas Mark 5 for a further 20 minutes until golden brown.
7 If wished, dust the top with icing or caster sugar.
