Long Description to add
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!
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 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 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 6Summer Fruit Millefeuille
Who can resist such a stunning dessert? To make life easier you can use bought pastry but it's well worth making Delia's quick flaky pastry as it has a wonderful depth of flavour. Use any summer berries you like.
Serves 6Gooseberry and Elderflower Jellies
A marriage made in heaven, gooseberries and elderflowers complement each other perfectly - an example of nature at its best, as both ingredients are in season at the same time! These jellies are a refreshing summer pud.
Makes three 1 lb (350 ml capacity) jarsDark Apricot and Almond Conserve
A lovely dark preserve that you can make in the winter months, when fresh fruit is out of season, as it uses dried apricots. Apricots and almonds have a wonderful affinity and this is bound to become a family favourite!
Serves 3Rhubarb Compôte
A wonderfully easy way to serve rhubarb, this lovely compote totally avoids that common problem with rhubarb - mush! - as it cooks slowly in the oven without water to keep its texture and shape but add loads of flavour.
Serves 6Summer Fruit Compôte scented with Lemon Grass
Predominantly fruit, this is a healthy summery dessert to serve to dieters who often feel they miss out on the pudding front. You can use any fruit combination you like - the lemon grass adds a subtle and intriguing element.
Makes about one 17½ fl oz (500 ml) preserving jarSpiced Cranberry and Claret Jelly
Subtly spiced, this wonderful jelly will give you a taste of Christmas all year round with roast meats, game, cheese or pate.
