This is probably a reaaly stupid question but.....do you drain the fruit first? I'd hate to waste it....

Yes you do. You can also put in fresh fruit as well. I made one yesterday with 2 squishy pears. I did have 3 but I had to pitch one out. Too far gone:rolleyes:. I also halved the sugar (both times) & it tasted fine.

Oh sorry they only do 100g bars in my Tescos, I didnt know the 200g bars existed. So yes it's the 100g bar, sorry.

Thanks, I may have used too much then, it was very chocolatey but lovely, tasted a bit like those posh, expensive Gu chocolate pots!

Tescos value 100g bars are 25p & their 200g value bars are 50p but I buy Tescos Rich Dark Chocolate (1 step up from the value IYKWIM) they only cost 48p for 200g so it actually works out 2p cheaper for supposedly better chocolate

I've tried the cobbler recipe twice but going wrong somewhere. I doubled the quatities, (except sugar) as it was for 6, it tasted ok, but took over an hour to cook and was quite hard, any ideas on where i'm going wrong.

Thanks for that tip Ang,I thought I''d got the choc prices sussed in Tesco.Incidentally this also works out a lot cheaper than 100g bag of choc chips which are 55p.If you need choc chips just bash a bar up! You get lots of different sized pieces which is really nice in a choc chip biscuit

Btw I used the 200g bar in BS's choc mousse too,it was lovely and rich

I'm glad you asked this as I thought it was just me being as everyone else seems to be more than happy with it

I've tried it twice now, first with some apples that needed using up, so put that one down to not being enough juice in it as BS recommends using tinned fruit, so tried it again with a tin of peach slices but it was still the same

The fruit didn't sink below the "sponge", which came out quite tough and rubbery, and it took well over an hour to cook through properly. I'm wondering if it could be the dish I'm using that's too shallow and whether I'd be better using a smaller deeper bowl, but then I'd have thought it would take even longer to cook through

Sounds scrummy and easy. Thanks

I have not tried black-saturns recipe but it looks very similar to this one by chipps which is yummy. Thanks chipps.

Heres the cobbler recipe:

Fruit Cobbler Recipe

In an oven proof dish add in 1 mug of self raising flour, 1 mug of granulated sugar and 1 mug of milk. Mix it all up so it's thoroughly mixed together and then add 1 tin of value tinned fruit of your choice on top. Bake in the oven on gas mark 4 until golden. The flour mix will rise up above the fruit.

I forgot to say thank you ! Hoping to try it tonight. I need it, my boys are neber full.
