Like a cherry pie sort of thing.

I can't remember the last time I baked ... well, anything, to be honest. I wonder if I should have a go?

[excelsior-1]

go for it, joggerjayne

i'll bring the hot custard

[askyourgran]

That is MrAsks favourite. I'd have a go JJ except I dont have any cornflour icing sugar or cherries.

[Psybbo]

That reminds me, must get cherry and olive stoner

What's your favourite fruit?

[joggerjayne]

it just looks a bit tricky.

[DTCwordfan]

raspberry.....love Pavlovas - also love tatin - apple please though for all those caramel bits and a Tahitian vanilla ice-cream to go with it.

[DaisyNonna]

Er, isn't that a variation of clafoutis?

[DTCwordfan]

You can always buy the pastry, otherwise it is fairly easy.....

[DaisyNonna]

All time favourite, raspberries.

[DTCwordfan]

yep - it's a clafoutis.

[askyourgran]

It's a bit of a faff making pastry for the tart then cake mix for the filling. They sell fresh Cherry almond Bakewells in M&S that are nice.

[joggerjayne]

You see, this is all just confirming ... things like baking should be left to proper baking people, like say ... bakers?

Oh, I wasn't thinking of any wise cracks. Honest!

There once was a girl who kept being followed by bread and pastry chefs wearing cooks' hats.

She asked her girlfriend if she could tell her why the breadmakers were following her.

Her girlfriend told her: "You really need to do something about that yeast infection."

[joggerjayne]

Course not, Jim lol
