A few leftover oranges from Christmas make a light and delicious dessert.
Desserts
Lavender ice-cream.
Peachy Melba!
I’ve actually used nectarines for this today as they were plentiful, but either peaches or nectarines will make this lovely dessert. It’s years since I made it but it’s still as good today as I remember it.
Sweet strawberry jelly.
Naturally sweet and fragrant, a light jelly dessert that will refresh you on a hot summer’s evening.
Blueberry clafoutis.
Something warm and delicious on a cold evening, a clafoutis with sweet blueberries.
Delightful elderflower pannacotta with poached raspberries.
English summer dessert, simple, elegant, delicious! 
Pannacotta, so easy to make, flavoured with elderflower and raspberries, quickly poached in their own juice. Continue reading
Sublime basil ice cream, summer on a spoon.
Loving picking the fresh basil from the garden! The fragrance is, for me, the epitome of the English summer. I’ve picked a big handful of basil, blitzed with a few tablespoons of sugar, added to some thick cream and, there you have it, a glorious summer dessert!

Flavouring the cream with a little basil adds even more summer flavour to the pudding.

Elderflower strawberry meringue cream!
Based on the great meringue picnic disaster at Eton this lovely summery dessert couldn’t be easier to make and is enhanced with the scent and taste of elderflowers.
I love the scent of elderflowers in the house when making cordial, (there’s definitely a candle fragrance to be made by someone who knows how!)
Strawberry jam ice cream!
Oh so simple and so tasty. The perfect quick dessert for a sweet English treat. Glorious strawberry ice cream with fresh English strawberries. 
I bought a pot of delicious strawberry jam in the Cowdray Farm Shop on my day trip yesterday. What’s especially nice about it is it’s high strawberry content – 81%. It inspired a quick dessert! Ready in no time. Continue reading
