TIPS

Perfect recipe to use in the summer when all the lovely English summer berries at a good price in the shops. You can use blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.

In the winter months, you can turn them into apple and berry muffins, using chopped tinned apple and frozen berries. The trick with the frozen berries is to defrost them and drain all the liquid before adding them to the recipe, otherwise you will end up with a very wet mix.
