Often made with gooseberries, "fools" are wonderful with most berries. This elegant dessert is never out of fashion.
Ingredients
5 cups hulled blackberries, raspberries or strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp brandy, or rum (optional)
250-mL container 35% cream, about 1 cup
6 sprigs fresh mint, optional
Instructions
Reserve a few berries for garnish. Puree berries, using a coarse sieve, the medium disk of a food mill, or a food processor. If using blackberries or raspberries, strain puree.
Stir puree with sugar and brandy. Let stand for 1 hour at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.
Just before serving, whip cream. Gently fold into puree. Turn into a large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Decorate with berries and sprigs of fresh mint, if you like.
