Strawberries release their finest flavor when served with raspberry and passion fruit sauce.
Cook’s Tip
When buying strawberries choose fruit that is brightly colored, firm and unblemished. For the best flavor, serve the berries at room temperature. The delicate flavor will then be at its most intense.
350g/12oz/2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen 45ml/ 3 tbsp caster sugar 2 passion fruits 700g/ 1/2lb/4cups small strawberries 8 plain finger biscuits, to serve
Place the raspberries and sugar in a saucepan and cook over a low heat, with stirring occasionally, until simmering.
Cook gently for 5 minutes, then leave to cool. Halve the passion fruits and scoop out the seeds and juice.
Pour the raspberries into a blender or food processor, add the passion fruit pulp and blend for a few seconds.
Rub the fruit sauce through a fine nylon sieve to remove the seeds. Fold the strawberries into the sauce, then spoon into four stemmed glasses. Serve with plain finger biscuits.
There are no birthdays soon.
