Freshly-picked raspberries - Nootka and Williamette

Late autumn is slim pickings for fruit but for raspberries! And autumn raspberries are, I think, better than summer raspberries.

So what to do with them? Well of you can even get them in the house pretty well every dessert is improved with the addition of raspberries. I think though that anything with chocolate is enhanced with fresh raspberries. So, here goes, one of my favourite cold weather desserts chocolate pudding topped with fresh autumn raspberries.

What you need:
60 g butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teasp. vanilla extract
1 cup SR flour
85 g castor sugar
2 tbsp. cocoa
 topping
4 dessertsp. cocoa
2 dessertsp. brown sugar
2 cups hot water

What to do:
Melt butter in the milk over heat. Add vanilla.
Stir through dry ingredients to make smooth batter.
Spoon into dish or four ramekins.
Spoon cocoa and brown sugar on top of mixture.
Ladel over hot water.
Cook in a moderate oven (160 degrees Celsius fan forced) 45 min for dish; 30 min in ramekins.
