Method

  1. 1

    Base. Heat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan) and line the large tin. Beat the flour, sugar and salt with 225 g butter, a piece at a time, until like damp sand. Take out about 300 g for the streusel.

  2. 2

    Prebake. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the tin and bake 14-18 min, until golden at the edges.

  3. 3

    Streusel. Mix the oats, pecans and brown sugar into the reserved crumbs, then rub in the last 30 g butter until small clumps form.

  4. 4

    Filling. Mash the jam, raspberries and lemon juice together with a fork, leaving some berry pieces.

  5. 5

    Bake. Spread the filling over the hot base, scatter the streusel over and bake 22-25 min, until bubbling and deep golden.

  6. 6

    Cool. Cool completely, about 2 h, then cut into 24.
