Summer fruit
Long Description to add
Serves 8Alain’s Passion Fruit Brulee
My thanks to Alain Benech, our very French chef at the football club, whom I persuaded to part with his delicious recipe for you all to make. Whenever it goes on the menu, it’s very popular and always sells out.
Serves 8Apple, Mincemeat and Nut Strudel
This is a Christmas party pud which will serve 8 people very generously; perfect for a buffet lunch. Filo or strudel pastry is wonderful for storing in the freezer as you can just take out a few sheets as and when you need them..
Serves 8Apple and Raisin Parcels
Akin to a traditional apple pie, this version is baked in individual servings. Just add plenty of cream, ice cream or custard for the ideal Sunday lunch pudding...
Serves 4Apple and Orange Crunch
I like this crunchy pudding, served with proper custard sauce or, failing that, a thick pouring cream.
Serves 4A Confit of Redcurrants, Orange and Mint
Perfect with lamb, this easy confit is a superb way to use up any gluts of redcurrants that may assail you during the summer!
Makes 24Apricot and Nut Crunchies
One of the quickest and easiest recipes on record - so there's no excuse for not keeping the biscuit tin topped up with these teatime goodies. Use whatever combination of fruit and nuts you like!
Serves 4A Confit of Cranberries for serving with Game or Duck
The title says it all and this jewel-like confit is the perfect foil for the richness of game or duck - you could also serve it with cheeses and cold cuts at Christmas as a change from your usual chutney.
Serves 6A Compote of Figs in Marsala Wine with Mascarpone Mousse
Elegant and autumnal, this dessert would go down well at the end of a special meal and is simplicity itself to make. Of course, you can use the mascarpone mousse in other recipes too - a great addition to your repertoire!
Serves 6-8A Terrine of Summer Fruits
Juicy, jewel-like summer berries encased in a raspberry jelly – what could be more refreshing on a summer’s day when entertaining? Make it in advance and serve it with cream or, for a truly low-fat option, as it is.
Serves 6A Summer Trifle with Raspberries and Raspberry Puree
No cooking here - just an assembly job involving ready-made custard, trifle sponges and a few other magic ingredients. You'll end up with a trifle that will be loved by everyone!
