HOME-MADE GOODIES..

RED BUM.. well, I suppose it could have been worse! SHE has a way with words.. but to quote OUR very beloved Tom Lampson (NYC).. "GeeGees' Blog is a birds' words"!

Today.. really chilly-billy.. WE had power failure this morning.. silly telephone socket threw fuse box out of sync, luckily SHE knows how to deal with norty things like this.. otherwise Dear Reader.. NO Router for WiFi!  NO POST.. NO BLOG.. not a happy thought.

But onto much happier things.. like glut of truly scrummydumptious Blackberries at garden.. SHE has given boxes of them away so now is time to do other things apart from jurst freezing them.. 

This recipe is very easy and quick and lurved by adults as well as children.

100 gms Strawberries.
100 gms of Raspberries.
100 gms of Blackberries.
2 tablespoonful of Lemon juice.
2 tablespoonful of Icing sugar.
500 ml of Greek style Yoghurt (yum).
3 tablespoonful of Honey.

Lolly moulds.
Or CLEAN.. old small yoghurt cases with wooden sticks for handles.

Hull strawberries. Put them into a blender with the raspberries, 
1 tablespoonful of lemon, 1 tablespoonful of icing sugar and blend 'til very smooth. Set aside.

In a NON metal bowl, mash blackberries with fork with 100 gms of lemon and 100 gms of icing sugar, keep mixture quite chunky, DON'T make it into a puree!

Mix Yoghurt with honey and adjust for sweetness, remember it will taste LESS sweet when icy cold!

Very lightly stir all fruit into yoghurt mixture.

Put moulds into freezer and leave for at least 4 hours to freeze.

Remove from freezer 20 mins before serving. If necessary, dip the tip of mould into hot water to help to ease them out of their moulds.

WE make these with single fruits as well.. there is a bag of scrummy Greengages that a fellow gardener has given HER in exchange for some Autumn Raspberries.

But Market is a'waiting.. SHE has to purchase Caster and Icing Sugar and LOTS of Limes.. SHE is finishing Beets and Garlic Relish today and has to bottle / can fruit before it goes bad.. 

ME.. I am alright.. My tumtum is full of Buttered Egg.. I am like Lovely Leigh, she knows Eggs are good for us Gurls!
