raspberry Eaton Mess

I made those fantastic raspberries that I gathered on the local walk into a delicious Eaton Mess. It’s traditionally made with strawberries, but if you love raspberries like me, you’ll love this version. Oh and its economical to! Home made meringue simple and very cheap to make, there's a recipe for them in the next posting.. and those raspberries didn’t cost me a shilling…

1. make your meringue the night before
2. Whip up some cream, to a light peak
3. lightly fold the fruit and the meringue into the cream
4. serve

a lovely addition is raspberry puree poured over or around the finished mess:
about 450g of raspberries to 50g of icing sugar. Throw the raspberries and icing sugar in a blender, blitz. Then push through a sieve.
