Garden Fruits
I’ve been picking raspberries in the garden- a full 4 punnets so far! There’s only so much fruit salad I can eat, so I’ve been looking and ways to use them in a dessert recipe. I quite fancy these Raspberry and Yoghurt Swirls, don’t you?!! Yum…
Ingredients:
800g frozen raspberries
110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
1.5kg greek style yogurt
175g (1/2 cup) honey
Place 500g raspberries, sugar and 60ml water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Transfer mixture to a food processor and puree.
Combine yogurt and honey in a large bowl.
To assemble, place 1 tbs raspberry puree in the base of each cup. Top with 60g yogurt mixture. Repeat layering with 1 tbs raspberry puree and 60 g yogurt mixture, finishing with 1 tbs raspberry puree. Divide remaining 300g raspberries among cups and serve.

I’ve just spotted this great recipe idea over at the Make Life Delicious blog. It’s a refreshing alternative to plain old fruit salad! Sunshine has named her delightful dessert Fruit Pizza but thankfully the base is made from cookie dough!
The picture reminds me of a colourful mosaic pattern… it’s so pleasing on the eye that you might think it’s too good to eat. Well, almost!

Blueberries are well known for their health benefits, however I do find eating them on their own a little unsatisfying- they don’t really taste of much! I prefer to use them as a topping on my cereal or mixed into a fruit salad. Even more appealing (but nowhere near as healthy, sigh!!) are these delicious blueberry muffins, below.
They may be full of calories but these muffins look a lot healthier than those stodgy processed ones that fill the supermarket shelves, don’t they? I’m sure we can count one muffin as one of our ‘five a day’….

We love La Tartine Gourmande for delicious recipe ideas and fantastic food photography. Just look at how pretty the shadow of this cup is, below!
These ‘nectarines in lavender-infused raspberry sauce’ look absolutely delicious and will be perfect on summer days at a garden party or barbeque! Simple, yet different and interesting.
It’s so easy to make- click here for the recipe.
