Long Description to add
Makes 2 x 1 litre or 4 x 0.5 litre jarsSuntina Marmalade
Suntinas are available from mid-December to the end of February and have a charming tangerine flavour which makes a delightfully different marmalade, and I think the nice thing about having a choice of marmalades is you never get bored.
Serves 4Compote of Figs in Port
Dessert figs that have become too dry to eat as they are can be excellent made into a compote. This is superb served with ice cream, but failing that, try it with some Greek yoghurt.
Serves 8-10 – makes 2½ pints (1.5 litres)Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This is what I'd call half dessert and half ice cream. My niece Hannah and nephew Tom are chief ice-cream tasters in our family and this one gets very high ratings indeed. It differs from most other ice creams in that it needs 2 hours in the main bod
Serves 6-8Blackcurrant Ice Cream
If you find blackcurrants a bit too strong, or can't track them down, use other fruit such as raspberries or loganberries. Either way, you'll need to eat this within three weeks of making it, but that's no hardship!
Serves 8Strawberry Granita
This is the recipe to make when there's a real glut of ripe strawberries. It's a much nicer way to conserve them than simply freezing them. The granita looks like sparkling jewels when you serve it in tall glasses.
Serves 6Summer Fruit Compote
This wonderful summery compote is a great way to use up a glut of fruit if you grow your own or find some reduced in the shops. The joy of it is that you can use any fruit you like.
Makes a 1¾ pint (1 litre) jarSpiced Apricot and Orange Chutney
This is a superlative chutney: it makes an elegant accompaniment to the Terrine with Three Cheeses, is excellent with Pheasant Terrine and is the main ingredient for a wonderful sauce for Roast Loin of Pork. To sterilise the jar, wash it thoroughly i
Serves 6Dairy Cream with a Compote of Blueberries in Marsala
Make this the day before you want to serve it and you'll be rewarded with one of the lightest, creamiest desserts ever. Blueberries make a wonderful compote but you could also use other summer berries instead.
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!
Serves 4Crisp Roast Duck with a Confit of Sour Cherries
This is it – the best method of roasting duck I've found to date, and of all the lovely sauces, this one – made with dried sour cherries – is the loveliest.
