Ingredients

  • 4 pears, peeled, cored, cut into wedges
  • 300g pkt frozen mixed berries
  • 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
  • 1/4 cup (35g) plain flour

  • 120g butter, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (185ml) buttermilk

Method

STEP 1 

Combine the pear, berries, sugar, plain flour and vanilla in the base of an 18-cup (4.5L) slow cooker. Stir to combine. Stand for 20 mins or until the berries start to release their juices.

STEP 2 

Meanwhile, combine the self-raising flour and extra sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a soft sticky dough forms. Stir through the chocolate.

STEP 3 

Spoon the scone mixture evenly over pear mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or until scone is cooked and fruit is tender.
