It’s prime blackberry picking season in the UK, and there’s a healthy crop down our road, just 20 steps from the doorstep there are lots of lovely black berries forming. The season started early this year, but I think it will last longer than normal as there are still green berries and some flowers forming.
When there’s such a glut, I’m always looking for new things to cook and today, I thought that I would try some Granita. If you start this in the morning, you can have it for dinner. It’s a great dessert, but you could also have it for the palate cleanser between courses.
