Madeira loaf cake too, cos why not. 😎🤣

ty!! They are lovely to be fair! The recipe originally calls for a ton of lemon juice and zest for the pectin in order to set, but I used jam sugar instead 😎

It’s nicely raspberry flavoured without the tang of the lemon. I found the recipe as was too sour and bitter.

For anyone interested in making them:

• 480g double cream
• 110g jam sugar (or caster + 10g pectin)
• 1/2 lemon zest (peel with a veg peeler don’t grate)
• 1/2 juice of lemon
• 280g raspberries or raspberry pureé
• 5-6 basil leaves

Combine the sugar, zest & cream in a pot, cook on mid-low for 5-6 mins or until sugar has dissolved (cream will turn slightly yellow)

While that’s cooking if you want to make roasted raspberry and basil puree, set oven to 200c and roast raspberries + a tablespoon of sugar & the basil leaves for 10 mins until soft. Blend for 3 mins and pass through a fine sieve to catch seeds/pulp, add that to the cream and cook for a further 5 min.

If using fresh/frozen raspberries, add them to the cream and bring it back to simmer and cook for 7-10 mins until the raspberries are soft. Use an immersion blender to puree the mix and pass through a sieve to catch pulp/lemon zest/seeds

Pour into moulds and let set for 5-6 hours or preferably overnight.

Sorry, the Tuile and biscuits are secret recipes 😅

Balcony with a Nespresso. OH is looking at somewhere to visit start next month with a friend. Everywhere she has thought about are either too hot or monsoon weather. She isn’t impressed.

I thought Yesterday was a good film to just watch and go with the flow. Although it is not a Christmas film, I think I seen it around that time of year and felt a bit like a feel good film with well known songs!

Having a coffee outside underneath the low hanging thunder clouds and threat of rain. But it's a nice coffee and it's warm and cosy cause I have a nice light lambswool jumper on. Cotton is just not the same. Viva la sheep.
