Ingredients

2 cups self-raising flour
50 g butter
¾ cup milk
375 g jar Craig's Blackberry Jam
2 pears or apples, peeled and grated
Sauce
½ cup boiling water
50 g butter
½ cup sugar
icing sugar to garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 180^o
C

1. Sift the flour into a bowl.

2. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbles.

3. Stir in the milk to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board, knead lightly. Roll out to a 20cm x 30cm rectangle.

4. Spread 1/2 the Craig's Blackberry Jam onto the dough and scatter over the grated pears. Roll up from the long side.

5. Cut into 2cm wide strips and place the pinwheels into a well-greased 6 cup capacity oven-proof dish.

6. To make the sauce mix together the remaining 1/2 jar Craig's Blackberry Jam with the butter, sugar and boiling water and pour over.

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pinwheels are well risen and golden and the sauce thickened. Dust with sifted icing sugar to serve.

Tips

Serve hot with whipped cream or ice cream.

This is fantastic, especially hot out of the oven, served with vanilla ice-cream!!! Had many requests from friends to make this time and time again.

Also instead of using Blackberry jam, i use Boysenberry.
