Dinner party (Part 3 - Dessert. BERRY CLAFOUTIS)

This is the first time I've made Berry Clafoutis, and it definitely won't be the last.
It was delicious! Although next time I probably will halve the amount of berries I use as it was a little overpowering.

INGREDIENTS:
670g jar (or thereabouts) of berries
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup cream
3 eggs
2 tbsp plain flour
1 cup caster sugar

METHOD:
Drain the berries, reserving the liquid.  Divide the berries between 6 lightly greased ramekins (or you can use a 23cm pie dish).



Whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, flour and half cup of sugar.



Pour mixture over the berries and bake in a 180C preheated oven for about 25 mins (or 45 mins for the pie dish) until light golden and just firm in the centre.



Meanwhile, combine the reserved cherry liquid and remaining half cup of caster sugar in a small pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for around 8 minutes until liquid has reduced and thickened slightly.



Serve with whipped cream and berry syrup.

This dessert can be made a day in advance, and can be eaten warm or cold.
