Method

  1. In a large bowl add the flour and butter and then rub together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add all the other pastry ingredients apart from the water and combine together. Gradually add the water (more may be needed) and combine together until a dough has formed, being careful not to over knead as you still want it crumbly.

  2. In a lined baking tray press half the pastry dough to the bottom so that a layer forms covering the base. Bake for 20 minutes until light golden brown and then leave to cool for 10 minutes.

  3. While the pastry base is in the oven you can make the filling by tossing the fruits in a large bowl with the sugar, lemon zest and juice and cornflour together. Spread the fruit mixture evenly over the cooled pastry.

  4. Scatter over the remaining pastry and then scatter droplets of water on top and return to the oven for another 30 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Leave to cool completely before cutting into 10 equal sized bars.
