A comforting pizza for Autumnal evenings...

If you say the word ‘autumn’, what images spring to mind? Perhaps the changing colours of leaves, cosy evenings inside – perhaps even Halloween? For me though, it has to be memories of picking blackberries with my dad. It became somewhat a tradition. There was a lovely little spot we used to go to where blackberries grew in abundance. On a Sunday we’d fill our boots (metaphorically of course) and take our efforts home to mum who would use them to make my favourite dessert – a traditional crumble! Such an important part of my childhood needed to be remembered and so this recipe is homage to those very special Sundays I shared with my parents.

Ingredients:

150g blackberries

170g minced beef

100g cheddar cheese

Sprinkling of rosemary

Method:

1. When the bases have finished proving, take them out the oven and turn the heat up to 210°C.
2. Whilst the oven is warming up, the topping can be prepared. First, blitz the blackberries using a liquidiser and then fry the mince until brown.
3. Spread your blackberry purée onto the bases and top with the mince.
4. Grate over the cheddar cheese, followed by a sprinkling of rosemary.
5. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
6. Buon appetito!
