This month's recipe is a delicious fresh berry combination with fresh cream.
Berries and cream
Ingredients
About 500g of mixed berries - whatever you have in your garden
Splash of sweet dessert wine
zest of one orange
half a teaspoon of sugar
500ml cream
1/4 cup castor sugar
dark chocolate
- Once you've picked your berries, give them a quick douse in water. Don't soak your berries as they can absorb the water - especially blueberries - and become watery and flavourless.
- Drain the berries well and if you have time - spread them on paper towel in one layer to dry.
- Combine the berries in a bowl with the wine, zest and sugar and gently mix.
- Whip the cream with the sugar until thickened
- Spoon the berries into a bowl and top with the thickened cream. Shave the dark chocolate over the top of the cream and serve.
