DESSERTS

Crisp meringues and billowing folds of freshly whipped double cream flavoured with rosewater, truly scrumptious for a decadent afternoon tea.

A simple recipe for breakfast, dessert or just a delicious snack, these scones are cooked direct on the simmering plate and are ready in a matter of minutes. The fresh blueberries give the drop scones a burst of flavour.

Fresh cherries partner well with almonds, if fresh cherries are not available then used drained bottled or canned. Make sure the cherries are pitted, stones removed, to avoid expensive dental bills!

This is such an elegant dessert and looks beautiful when simply presented with a few artful drizzles of sauce.

Cherries and almonds are great friends and this neat tart works equally well served cold at a picnic with cream or warm with ice-cream after dinner.

A summer favourite, this cheesecake is simple, stunning and so moreish, you may have to make a couple just to keep everyone happy. Perfect as a BBQ or summer picnic pudding, it can also be made in individual sizes for more prim and proper entertaining occasions.
