| Instructions |
|
Keep 1-3
raspberries per serving to one side. Crush the remainder
slightly and then put them in a bowl with all the other ingredients,
except the cream. (If you have no Amontillado, and use dry
sherry or dry white wine instead, you might like to add a little
extra sugar. )Leave to marinate for at least 4 hours in a warm
place, or overnight in a refrigerator.
Force the
mixture through a sieve. Pour in the cream and then whip to
soft peaks. Put the reserved fruit in the bottom of your
serving glasses and top with the syllabub. Chill well before
serving, perhaps with unfilled brandy snaps. This style of
syllabub may not separate but do not worry if it
does.
In keeping with British traditions, this wondrous
mixture is perfect for mixing with crushed meringues, with or
without more raspberries; for making cake-structured puddings, such
as a raspberry flavoured Boodle's;or for topping a
trifle. Imagine making a trifle with squares of madeira cake,
raspberry jam, fresh raspberries and a raspberry syllabub.
