dont know the name of it, but its basicly some little tart type things i used to make with my mum, if i remember correctly it was just butter sugar and currents heated up in the pan then put into the pastry cases (open topped) and then baked.

would appreciate the recipie if any one knows what im talking about here.

    I found a copy of the new edition of the Bero cook book in Morrisons last week, along the aisle with the baking ingredients. Just over a £1 I think. They are in there.

    Yes - some stores carry the book. If you can't find one on a supermarket shelf you can order a copy by post from the details here:-
