Blackberry and Apple Cheese Recipe
(makes: about 1 kg)

Ingredients:

1 kg
500 g
1.5 kg/ 6 cups

blackberries
cooking apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
white sugar

Method:

1. Put  the fruit into a preserving pan with 600 ml of water and cook for about 30 minutes until soft.

2. Press the pulp through a nylon sieve set over a bowl. Measure the resulting puree and return it to the pan, adding 500 g/ 2 cups of sugar for each 500 ml of puree.

3. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then bring the mixture to the boil and simmer, stirring often, for 40-60 minutes.

4. Fruit cheese is ready when a wooden spoon drawn across the bottom of the preserving pan leaves a clean line.

5. As soon as it is done, spoon the cheese into warmed, clean, small jars, then cover with waxed dices and seal. Alternatively, the fruit cheese can be poured into small ramekins, left to set and then carefully unmoulded for serving.
