AnnieP Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 First harvest of the year! 2 1/2 lbs of blackberries from our paddocks....yummy! plan is to turn most into a compulsory blackberry and apple crumble, but a few are going into a "blackberry and Gingernut Layer" (From Waitrose mag) 300g blackberries 200g caster sugar finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon 150g ginger nut biscuits 200g cream cheese 1 egg white 200ml double cream (keep a few blackberries to go on top) mix blackberries, 2tsb sugar, lemon zest. mix a bit, and leave in a cool place to marinate for 2 hours bash up the biscuits a bit (plastic bag and rolling pin style). not too much. Mix the cream cheese with rest of sugar and cream, beat egg white until it peaks, add to cream cheese mixture Then, best in sundae glasses, layer, spoonfuls of blackberries, biscuit, cheesey stuff. Repeat and top with cheesey stuff, add a few blackberries and some lemon zest. Yumtastic! And blackberries, ginger and lemon = Very healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Mum made Blackberry and apple pie though instead. I love pie, but HATE the pastry going up my fingernails.... hence crumble in food processor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't know, I don't like blackberries. Next time you must do a PYO for something you do like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Nah, I don't like much fruit, just apples and pears. I'm a vegetable kind of person instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm Annie ! Sounds divine!! I'm picking some more blackberries from FIL's allotment this week so will have to give that a go! I turned the last lot into Bramble and Apple Curd and Blackberry and Apple Fool. Time for a change, methinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for a change, methinks! Bramble and apple curd and blackberry and apple fool - now they both sound good! Any chance of the recipes?

Mrs Frugal Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'll pop them in a new topic for you . I'll find the blackberry and apple fool recipe in a bit but I've put up the curd recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 That crumble recipe sounds good....... but I used up all my blackberries at the weekend, making blackberry jam. And very delicious it was too on some home made scones I'll have to go out picking again at weekend, see if there's enough left on the bushes to make a crumble.
