In the meantime, I've been nibbling on a few strawberries tonight and having a think of a nice easy cheapish recipe for you all to try. I have decided on a strawberry fool! It's perfect at this time of year as strawberries are in season now and are plump, voluptuous and very tasty....just how I like my women!!! Only kidding! So here it is, enjoy & I will speak to you all again tomorrow
As strawberries are in season and therefore
relatively cheap, here is a great, easy recipe for you
Ingredients
1 Kg of soft, ripe strawberries. Remove the
core part and quarter
·
juice from 1/2 a lemon
·
80 g of caster sugar
·
2 gelatin leaves
·
250ml of double cream
·
250 g of natural yoghurt
·
1 tbsp icing sugar
·
150ml of whipping cream
Method
Heat a saucepan over
medium-high heat. Add strawberries, lemon juice and sugar. Cook for about 15 min, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat. Mix gelatin in ice-cold water until dissolved.
Pour strawberries into a blender and puree. Transfer to a large
bowl. Remove the gelatin from the water and squeeze dry, then stir into
the puree. Cover and refrigerate for approx 1/2 hour. Lightly whip the
cream, stir the yogurt into the puree and then fold in the
cream. Divide among six glasses, cover and put in the fridge overnight. To
finish the dessert, lightly whip the whipping cream with the icing sugar until
it just keeps it shape. Spoon on top of your chilled fools. The key to getting
this dessert perfect is cooking the
strawberries......
