This is one way to use the pear and ginger from a batch of non setting jam but you could also use the same weight in any other fruit mix that you like. Apple would be good as would blueberries, raspberries. I would use the lower end of the fruit quantity with berries as they have a more intense flavour.
You will need the fol owing:
12 Muffin paper cases to line the muffin tray
2 Fresh Eggs medium size
240ml Milk
120ml Oil, any light vegetable or nut
200g Sugar
375g Plain Flour
4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
175 to 250g Pear and Ginger or any other fruit or berries.
Heat the oven to 200c, gas 6, 400F
Add eggs, oil, milk and sugar and mix lightly
In a different bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix lightly
Add the flour to the wet ingredients and stir through
Add the pear and ginger or the fruit you are using
Line the muffin tray with the paper cases
Add the mixture to the cases (if you are using the maximum amount of fruit then you will have enough for 13/14 muffins).
Bake for 25 minutes
or if you are in a rush and don’t mind the pale look a minute per muffin in the microwave oven. Mine microwave is an 850watt.
