Summer Berries With Crème Fraiche

Ingredients

Use a selection or all of the berries listed below.

110g/4oz strawberries

110g/4oz blackberries

110g/4oz raspberries

110g/4oz blue berries

110g/4oz loganberries or cranberries

Then the juice of 2 oranges

90g/4oz caster sugar

½ vanilla pod, or vanilla essence

1/2 cinnamon stick

200ml/17fl oz red wine preferably a fruity Italian red

100ml sherry

Method

In a hot pan place the sugar with the vanilla and cinnamon.
Start adding the berries, firmest first and softest last and then the orange juice, and the red wine / sherry Cook the berries for approximately 2 minutes and remove from the heat cool on a bench until no steam leaves the bowl then cover and refrigerate.
To finish I like using a small amount of roughly chopped vanilla sponge in an individual serving bowl.
Then add the berries and some of the syrup top with a good dollop of crème fraiche.

Serve immediately

NOTE

In summer I love having either chilled or hot fresh mint tea. You just need lovely fresh mint and boiling water. This is a very simple and refreshing way to finish any dinner on a beautiful summers evening.

Happy Eating Scott
