It’s Sunday and we always go to dinner at my Mum’s for a roast from the Aga. There’s nothing quite like a good catch up in the warm kitchen whilst stirring the gravy and shredding the home grown runner beans.
I don’t know how it happened, but somewhere along the line a new tradition has crept in and I’ve been bringing along desert. Cheesecake to be exact. I’ll put the recipe on the blog later.
This morning I looked in the fridge and thought hmmm.. what can I put on the cheesecake today? There were a few strawberries that had seen better days and my favourite, blueberries, smiling back at me.
There weren’t enough to make a coulis but luckily I always have frozen berries to hand, usually for smoothies and for Dolly the Frenchie to have as treats ( it’s amazing how a frozen blueberry can do the trick).
So here it is, a super tangy winter berry coulis ready to pour over creamy lemon cheesecake later today. Enjoy! x
