Ingredients

For the fruit:

2 apricots, stoned and sliced
1 pear, cored and thickly sliced
1 pint blackberries
1 pint blueberries
1 pint raspberries
1 stick rhubarb
5 tablespoons sugar
A good glug balsamic vinegar

For the topping:

4 ounces butter, chilled
8 ounces (225 grams) self-rising flour
2 1/2 ounces (70 grams) sugar
A large pinch salt
4 1/2 fluid ounces (130 milliliters) buttermilk
A little sugar, for dusting
Vanilla ice cream, as an accompaniment

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C/gas 5). Put the fruit into a pan with the sugar and the balsamic vinegar. Put the pan over the heat, and cook gently, until the juices begin to run from the berries. Pour into an ovenproof dish.

Meanwhile make the topping. Rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add the sugar and salt, stir well, and then add the buttermilk to form a loose, scone-type mixture. Roll balls of the dough and place randomly over the hot fruit. Sprinkle with a little sugar, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

WOW!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a trained chef who as most do stinks at baking. I tried this cobbler and was so amazed how good it was. I used 2 bags... of frozen rhubarb and 1 bag of frozen mixed berries along with a bit of corn strach for the fruit then followed the rest of the recipe for the filling. The only change I made to the top was I baked it for 10 min. first then topped with the sugar and finished the baking. I'll use this again and again with this and other fiillings.Read more

Note Self Rising Flour
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When making this recipe please note the self rising flour. Most recipes call for all purpose flour! Unfortunately the top of... my cobbler did not rise. I used 3/4 lb Strawberries and 3/4 lb rhubarb for the fruit part and my friends thought it turned out lovely spooned over vanilla ice cream. Leslie,Southlake TXRead more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great simple recipe. I used frozen mixed berries, cut back a little on the sugar because they were sweetened to... begin with, and they worked perfectly. The flavor of the topping was wonderful! I will absolutely make this again.Read more

One of the best things I ever made
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Jamie Oliver is a genius! This was an amazing dish; it had the entire family talking. If you make this dish, I recommend... using about 2 peaches (sliced) instead of the 2 apricots and pear. Absolutely phenomenal.Read more
