In what I’ve included here as step two is an invitation to make a decision. A decision as to what sort of fool you want to make: ‘a smooth fool or a lumpy fool’. I haven’t made this recipe – yet. Have just added it in preparation for the May 2005 Let’s Get Fresh and SWAP - Recipe Swap . But I do find it appealing, in its simplicity and its quaintness. And in what sounds like its sheer deliciousness. Must confess I’d want to sneak in some liqueur.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup sour cream or 3/4 cup creme fraiche
4 cups berries
1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Whip 1/2 cup (125 mL.) whipping cream and stir in 3/4 cup (175 mL.) of dairy sour cream or créme fraiche.
2. Then make a decision: Do you want a smooth fool or a lumpy fool? If the answer is smooth, puree 4 cups (1 L.) of berries with 1/2 cup (125 mL.) sugar (less if they taste sweet enough) in a blender or food processor. Fold the cream into the fruit puree and chill. If you want a lumpy fool, mash the strawberries and sugar together with a potato masher, then fold in the cream.
