Fruit Sponge - Gluten Free
"I have made this recipe so often my family think I can't cook anything else, but with lots of home grown fruit around, it is the easiest gluten free dessert that I have found.
Fruit:
Almost any type of fruit can be used. I have tried apple, pear, fig, nectarine, peach, mango, berries, ...
eg For apple sponge: peel 1 Kg apples, chop, bring to boil, pour sponge mix over.
If using canned fruit, then use around 750 grams can for best results.
(If there is a lot of juice in the can then remove some before bringing the fruit to the boil)
It can be cooked in a variety of ways:
Microwave for 12 minutes on medium until cooked.
OR place in saucepan on stovetop over minimum heat for 20 minutes until cooked.
NOTE: the sponge will be gluggy if the fruit is not boiling when the sponge mix is poured over it.
Serve with icecream or custard and or cream."
