PERSIMMON & RED BERRY FLAN   (serves 6 or more)

Ingredients :

1 sponge flan case

3 ripe persimmon, stalk removed and sliced into thin wedges

300g tin of mixed berries

135g pack of strawberry jelly cubes.

Method :

1.  Place the separated jelly cubes into a measuring jug.  Pour on 200ml of boiling water and stir until the jelly has dissolved.

2.  Add to the jelly the liquid from the tin of mixed berries.  If necessary, top up with enough water to 480ml.   Set the jelly aside in the fridge to cool and begin to set.

3.  Once the jelly has begun to set, arrange the persimmon slices onto the flan base and pile the red berries into the middle.  If there is any juice left in the tin, sprinkle it around the persimmon slices.

4.  Add the jelly evenly around the fruit and make level.

5.  Place into the fridge to allow the jelly to finally set properly.

6.  Serve with whipped cream, whilst wearing a polyester trouser suit and listening to the Beatles.

Perfect!
