Hi to my blog followers,
I haven't posted in a while. I guess I have been too busy indulging in good food. Well I have nearly finished all of my home made orange pickle and the lime pickle. They were both really very good and so easy to make, go on give it a try.
I am waiting for my various varieties of tomato and chilli to fruit then I can post some recipes based on fresh tomato and chillies.
This post is for a dessert, now I have a very savory tooth, so with me dessert can often be overlooked. The recipe below is so terribly easy. It takes no time at all and it is almost healthy, well it has fresh fruit in it after all.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeasy Mess
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Good quality lemon curd
Greek yogurt (I prefer full fat but of course you can use low fat)
Method:
Combine two thirds yoghurt and one third lemon curd in a bowl. Fold together but take care not to mix completely together. You are aiming to achieve ribbons of yellow lemon curd through the yoghurt.
Combine with a handful or two of raspberries.
Spoon into individual serving dish or bowl and top with a home made raspberry coulis
Raspberry Coulis
Method:
Punnet or more of raspberries, sugar to taste. Place in a sauce pan with a splash or two of water. Bring to boil then simmer on low heat for 5 minutes or until fruit is soft. Pass through a sieve. Push the fruit through the sieve with the back of spoon. This should leave the pips behind. If you want a more concentrated coulis then place the coulis back in a clean saucepan and over a high heat reduce until the desired consistency is achieved.
Notes:
This recipe is really just a base. Try adding broken up meringue, or banana or both. I have just made it with strawberries, meringue and banana ..mmm yummy. Add whatever fresh fruit appeals to you.
